2001 Trailblazer 250:

The cord on the the recoil was all the way out, not going back in... so I took the cover off, and the rope was not connected to the reel... so I put it back through the hole and tied a knot, and then wrapped the cord around the reel to where it lines up when u bolt it back on, and when i pulled to see if i did it right, it started, but the rope didnt wind up all the way.... about 6 inches was haning out when it stopped winding up.....

sooo... did i instal it wrong... or is the spring bad??

also, how do i get to the spring?? thanks...

 

Anyone???

 

come on... someone here... this forum is full of experts... are they taking the night off or what... lol ...

 

You did not wind the spring tight enough. Take it about three turns more.

 

dont laugh...
but how do i wind up the spring?? ...
