need help with reinstalling the recoil spring on a ATC 200S. It is trying to kill me when I attempt to wind it up and put it in place.

hi ok you need to hook the one end to the plate that the string goes around then wind it up with your hand set it in and hook up the last end it is very difficult and likes to fly out at your face it would be easyer to buy another one off ebay

 

If you need pics from the Manual, PM me...

 

I had this problem with the ATC110, I tried a number of times and dedcided to bring it to someone that has done it before, I had a friend do it that rebuilds chainsaws, he made short work of it and made me look foolish...it only cost me a six pack, well worth it. Maybe there is a local lawnmower repair or chainsaw repair place that would do it real cheep. Good luck

 

well yea but he was your friend others will charge alot whatever you do DO NOT TAKE IT to ARMSTRONG MOTORS that guy rip off a 12 year old kid on a three wheeler wich is me he is the worst guy i know

 

Why does the pull start on my ATC110 get stuck every once in a while? Sometimes I can push the rope back in until it kicks back down, and other times I have to pull the cover off and twist it.

 

maybe your spring is worn down
