Looking for info...Fix a pull start.

Post by sg219 »

I'm so glad BP has an organized forum!!!

Stickies and Mods that help!!!

Since I'm new to Nitro's I have been looking for lots of info, but can NEVER find it without going thru 40+ threads of BS and then read one post that has half the info I'm looking for because some ASS don't know what he/she is talking about.



Now my problem....

How do you fix the pull start when the cord comes off the inside?

Links to any info would be great.


I've searched a couple of places and just keep getting 9 million results of garbage. :-(

Not really any detailed info on the assembly of pullstarts out there is there?

I'm not a fan of them so I don't use them, but really they are nothing more than a spring, bearing, and a length of rope.

A brand new one is $20, so I'm guessing a rebuild is next to nothing.

Just pop it open, and tie the rope back, and maybe get a new spring, and OWB..

take pics so we can show the other sites how it's done...lol

Take it apart very carefullly. Make sure the spring doesn't come undone. Odds are the spring is broken. If the spring isn't broken, it may just need to be tied in. Everytime I've had the string break, the spring has broken too. I just upgraded to Rotostart. Kinda wish I had kept the pull start at times. I hated charging the 7.2v pack.
