I have used this method of changing short, or frayed recoil ropes for many years.

 

So I thought I would rig up the camera today and take a little video so I can share this technique.

Can anyone tell me how to insert a Youtube video so that it shows on a post as a picture rather than a link?

Firstly. Those pliers are priceless, I have two pairs.

 

Secondly, you got a thing about recoils. Lol.

 

 

Another priceless bit of knowledge from arb talk.

I love recoils.

 

I hate it when I see a customer coming through the door with a Tesco bag full of tangled recoil spring.

 

So many people will insist on taking the spring and rotor out to replace the rope. It is only sometimes necessary.

I can't help with the video posting question. When I post videos sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

 

But thanks for excellent tips in the video.

Brilliant Barrie! I love seeing a proper tradesman using the tricks of his trade.

and the best kept secret in the lawnmower business is let out of the bag. Was shown the same years ago and the bloke said never tell another soul how to do this.

It's a bit like the magic circle !

Funny thing is, I was never shown this by anyone. Just invented it myself many years ago.

 

All these years I have closely guarded the secret, fearing that If I divulged it to anyone it could lead to a massive rise in the numbers of DIY recoil rope menders and the end of the dealer network as we know it.

 

The burden of guarding this secret has inflicted a great mental strain on me, and with approaching senility, I felt it was time to pass on this most valuable of information to a few carefully selected followers of my work, so that the secret will outlive me.

 

Guard this information well my friends.
