Thanks for this video man I'm glad someone made a replacement for that crappie spring Stihl made, who ever thought this up should be fired it has cost myself and others lots of money I know, Thank You for the part number and God bless.
I've done this to my BG86CE's, once the easy start spring goes once it creates sufficient wear on the spring housing and centre spindle for replacement springs to force their way between the cord carrier and the upper section holding the dogs. Once it's failed it will continue to fail, with wear increasing each time and thus the time between failures decreasing. It isn't a very good design but this fix is easy to achieve and I haven't had a failure since (8 months and counting). Thanks for the videos Mick.
I found a new way while wait for the retro fit part. I took spring out then glued and plastic welded the top hat to the rope rotor.. Now it starts great everytime now
Thanks for this video.I’ve been having that problem with that spring like you said from pulling and pulling.Your video was very helpful and easy to understand.THANKS
How's she goin'? That's a nice fix for the blower. The 'easy starts' are not all that great. I had a chain saw with one and it was never fun trying to start it!!! Take care!!!
I've got to ask the question, why don't you thread the length of the pull cord from the recoil then out of the casing then tie on the starting tee grip first, and then use the designated recoil cut out to tension the recoil spring???? It's soooo much easier than trying to hold a wound recoil with one hand and do the rest with the other. Incase anyone doesn't know what I mean I will attempt to explain. 1: Recoil zero spring tension, thread cord from recoil through outer casing. 2: Cut to length. 3: Tie on starter Tee grip. 4: Back to recoil and locate the cut out notch facing you. 5: Pull some cord back from the outside of the casing and pull it upward so that the end of the cord closest to the recoil locates in the notched cut out. 6: Now simply use the cord to wind the recoil. 7: Release and allow the recoil to unwind, pulling the cord from the outside of the casing onto the recoil. 8: Check and continue winding if necessary. 👍🏻🤗👍🏻
Nice work Mick, I have 2 Husqvarna LD128's with the start assist, both broke, replaced and broke again (He-Manned them too much). I need to see if Husqvarna makes a kit like this for them. Appreciate the info buddy.
Hi Mick I was aware they did a conversion one but never used one myself, I’ve actually used one of these blowers for years and the easy start has never failed, if it does I will go this direction. Good video 🙂👍
@@TheLawnmowerLady Hi yes good point, another thing I’ve seen it that people have replaced pull ropes but have them much to short, I’ve seen that on a lot of machines. Mick got it spot on here🙂👍
@@themowerman I’ve never wrenched the pull cord like a lot do. Could never really see the point of the easy start in the first place. Anyway how are you I haven’t heard from you in a good few days?
Does Stihl charge more for the Easy Start? If so, wouldn't it be better for people to properly learn to use the thing they paid for? Paying to remove a feature that you paid to have included just seems all kinds of wrong to me.
Wow, l sat through the whole video and you didn't show how to change the recoil spring. You left it coiled up in the housing and skipped the part what l wanted to see unfortunately😢. Can you please show how to replace it? Thanks 😊
Mike, I have the same bg 56c with the same easy pull problem. Please send me the part name and part number you used to replace the easy pull spring system. Thanks, Gordon
Hi Mick I have an fc56. Little different style. The dogs are on the motor shaft and where the dogs are on yours, i have white plastic gear teeth held on with a screw. I do have the two springs. Any tips on this new style? Can it be converted? Tks
My question is does this part fit the easy start flywheel. The stihl guy says i need to swap the whole starter unit out for a non easy start. I ordered the part you gave and hopefully it solves my problem.
@@themowerman sounds good. I went thru 4 springs in a week or so. Even replaced the main recoil spring and it was better but ez pull spring failed again. So the rope rotor you suggested is on order from stihl. Thanks.
OK Mick, I got the proper conversion part finally here in the US and I bought a new main recoil spring. How do you install a new main recoil spring and how do you keep it in the chassis while you fiddle with installing the new conversion spool? Ps - the new one is already wound a plate it shipped with...
