Recoil broken 032

[Thomas Venditto]

So the recoil on my 032 went limp.
I checked the spring and it's fine.
The pully doesn't engage the spring.
Is there a part missing? I only have the pully. There are no dogs underneath . The DAMN ADS ARE SO BAD I CSNT SEE THE SCREEN! WTF

No parts are missing.

You just need to bend that spring eye end so it sets closer to the center post, it’s slightly too far away for the pulley edge to initially catch it.

That seems to have done the trick. Thanks!

While we're on it, what's the deal with the Stihl strings? Mine's a bit frayed.
It's got a rubber cushion and a plastic tab on the end where it goes into the pull handle.
Do I have to buy a Stihl string with that tab on the end? I'd like to keep the saw stock.

Look at the rope bushing where the rope exits the case. Usual suspect.
