Anyone have a method for re-bending (re-forming) the end of chainsaw rope starter recoil springs?
I have all kinds of torches to heat the springs. I used a propane torch and got one red hot and got a formed end, but should I re-temper it by re- heating and dipping in oil or?
I have several Homelite chainsaw recoil springs with just the very end broken off. (and couple of the new rotary type that break that look like this one
