How to put this *f-wording recoil spring back in.

 

[ammoaddict]

First you have to straighten out that mess, then carefully wind it up and put it back in. I had one come out a few months ago. It took a couple trys but I finally got it.

If this is a serious question than I can try. Move the pulley off and 2 foot away LOL. Start your spring in the cover from outside and lay inward until it is all wound and flat in the spring holder. Install the new rope on your pulley and feed it through the guide bushing. Handle installed and pulley notched inner spring end wind up the pulley. Awe heck you know where you are going from here right!! It's best if you can get the spring untangled before you start. GLWW. Tim

I would recommend taking several Tai-Chi classes before tackling that...

I see now that yours is different from mine. Mines a 365. What's yours?

I stick a bolt in the vice, hook the spring to the pulley, set the pulley on the bolt and wind it up.

You can also put a nail through the eye and one on the outside of the eye into you bench and wind it up.

Safety glasses

I prevailed! I’ll not take another one out. In fact I’d consider buying one before repairing it.

The more u do the easier it gets! But they still explode 3/4 of the way wound up sometimes. I actually take everyone apart on saws i build now and wash um, sand off rust or crud with scotch brite, rewind and relube. But i have issues too am i the only one?
Oh and as stated before saftey glasses r a must!

Rancher/PracticaWhite Top ??

It’s says Practica 44 on the tag and Rancher on the white top cover. Neat little saw with incredible compression (now that I’ve got a starter on it). Belongs to a friend of mine. He bought it in 1979 and it’s the only saw he’s ever owned. Was made in 1979.

Me fingers are paining me sorely this morning.

Depends on the style of holder, but often I coil them up and hold them in that form with well placed vice grips. Get it in position and release them and hope the genie doesn’t come back out of the bottle.

The very worst of rewinding any recoil is a right hand start 10 series McCulloch . They didn't engineer that model with ease of repair in mind .

I picked up a recoil spring winding tool off ebay a few years ago.
It makes the evil recoil spring just another part on the saw now.
I will even remove the spring as a maintenance item now,wipe it down with a cloth and relube with dry graphite.
It came with a bunch of adapters and i haven't found a spring that doesn't fit so far
