Recoil spring

[Mark Bolam]

Any saw doctors got any tips on rewinding a recoil spring for an MS200T so it fits back into the metal jig it comes supplied in?

Mine seems to have popped out in my immaculately ordered tool box.

 

Thanks!

Never had to buy a new one but you usually place the outside part in the outer rim and then just wind it round pushing it in place holding it on two opposite sides - that is how I fit them also!

You must have thumbs like scaffold tubes Steve!

I find patience and a lot of swearing usually gets the job done. Just count yourself lucky you don't have to re-coil one off of a quadbike, mate.

Not an MS200, but here is a vid I did on a general recoil rewind. It may help.

When I started I used to wind them up as best I could, stick em in the case so the rest stuck out the slot in the case and then wound it in by rotating the whole spring in the case with some pliers.

Now I just use my thumbs, can't see what all the fuss is about!
