You need PN 1122 190 3400. I think I paid $18 for mine.
I like the Elastostart handle. It cost a bit more to replace the rope when it breaks but not enough to worry about. The starter handle from the 460R is also really nice on a big saw. I had one on my 660 but when the tiny little handle broke on my 394 I put it on there instead.
Remember the rope is replaceable. You don't have to buy an entire new assembly.
Shindaiwa's system works great, and doesn't cost no $18+! (6.24, to be exact). The handle even doubles as a tool to open the caps!
I break them on my 066 very often, if the handle does not rip apart the cord will snap, I couldn`t get a year out of one on that saw. The other 066 is not as bad and the two 064`s are fine with the Elastostart handles. Some saws have more compression and timing advance than others, mine has both.I have replaced a half dozen of these on Loggers' saws. They know exactly how to wear them out and break them as they drop start their MS 660's and 661's. I almost bought one for my 064 that has no decomp, but instead I sold the saw. That was dumb. The 064 was the strongest saw I owned and the Elastostart is what I should have bought for it. Rats!
