The saw runs well new gas line plug,and carb kit.But the recoil seems to be sticking in the fully extended position?.
I have taken it apart and lubed the spring it was very rusty.While apart i noticed somthing about the spring.In its coiled state there is a 1/2 or 3/4 wrap of what looks like spring material wraped around the "almost center" of the spring it looks like it is supposed to be there, like it is keeping the center portion of the coil in the center of the opening for the recoil mech to fit into. Has anyone seen anything like this before?.I do really believe the half circle of steel thing is supposed to be there, this saw has maybe 10 coards of wood on it, she is in very very good condition. But this recoil issue has me stumped the only other thing I can think of is the rope is a very large diameter and is very stiff origional most likely.
