Great Vids on engine repairs, but please note you are using
a flat blade screwdriver not Phillips head in this vid, as you keep referring
to.
Keep up the good work
Thanks for the heads up, I’ll put up a note on the video.
Thanks for the Vid..what part should I buy exactly?
Cheers.
Hi Mate
This is the spring required https://pushmowerrepair.com.au/product/horizontal-starter-recoil-spring/
What can be done when the tabs break off due to metal fatigue? This was not a good design. Is there any way to make it work, without trying to find a replacement for the entire top cover?
