other day the starter cord snapped and when i removed the recoil i noticed the spring had also twisted slightly. New spring arriving and hoping to get it back on ok. machine is Loncin 13hp basically copy of gx 390.

Wear gloves ! Flame seal the cord so it goes through the hole nicely and tension it with the cord - there is a slot in the reel for this (if its like a Honda)
-
On my honda genny I couldnt get the recoil spring off. I had to thread the new cord through and tie off.
-
trying to figure out how this fits in and in the right direction for when i start machine. dont wanna have it other way then pull the cord and ruin it lol.
-
It should only spin one way mate. Check which way the old one spins.

got new spring fitted. my machine is a copy of gx 390 honda seemingly. loncin washer i have. I watched a vid on youtube and guy is winding the spring up pulling in cord. I tried this but if you do this when ye let go the cord goes to bits. i assume ye wind up up spring then undo one revolution attach cord and let go slowly thus pulling cord in?
