Easy Start 5105 kaput. New parts but unsure of how to tackle this. I envision the starter spring unwinding.View attachment 467798View attachment 467799

It's easier than it looks, if you use the repair manual for the 6100 I posted a couple of threads ago as it's exactly the same. Probably an overkill on a 50cc saw but to be honest as long as you get out of the habit of drop starting, they work very well! My problem is remembering which saws have the easy-start!

Thanks! Got ‘er done. I don’t think I operate easy-start correctly most of the time.

I find the problem is after many years starting saws 'the normal' ways, it's getting your head around how these things work, see attached video of a 6100 starting!

#181-160-170 is the number for a non-easy start for the 50cc's. They call it a modification set. I have one for my 5001 but am unable to get the correct sticker for it. It's aesthetics for me. Don't need help with 50cc's. Yet.

I despise the Easy Start being used to drop start any cc saw.

Also, it feels as if the Easy Start wants to fall apart on my XS5000 & MMWS6100.
They both like to "kick back" which is quite unpleasant.

Yeah, 31cc up to 90cc for me - unless hydrolock flooded no problem.
Cold on the ground start, warm restarts drop start.

I have a Chinese 45cc which tears the string out of my hand / I installed a Chinese Easy start / I've never seen anything like that again
