ms200 pull start

my topper is about 2-3months old and the recoil spring keeps working out of the mounting point,has anyone else had this prob?

in 17 years i've never had this on any saw,had a few break but not come out.

getting a bit sick of having the spring try to take my eye out when rewinding it into place

you have a way with saws dont ya mate..wich mounting bit the one on the casing or the wheel it self.......i have had a few that where right b@stads and kept coming of the wheel u wind the cord around....the only answer is buy a new wheell and get a new spring they never seem to be quite the same after they pop out a few times,oh and dont over rap the spring 4-5 turns at the most.

If you get stuck i got a spare side and case complete.

 

288 seems fine ,put the same chain after a clean up back on dropped and rung up the last big elm today the chain behaved it self fine...still time for a 395 though ,that saw just dont rev like the new huskys evan though it is very torqy

it's the mount on the casing that kepps coming off,pissin me off as it's a new saw

 

glad the saws ok,it does have some torque like ya say

My 200T did the same thing when it was only a week old. Fortunately it hasn't done it again since.

I think it's a pretty common fault. It's happend to me several times. The last time was on a Saturday Job-And-Finish with 4 climbers going hell-for-leather. Took 2 of us about half an hour to sort it out again. Pain in the arse, to be oh-so-perfectly honest.
