This is an OEM replacement recoil kit supplied directly by Poulan. The starter pulley spins the flywheel to start the engine when you pull the starter rope. The most common reason for replacing the starter pulley is if the starter rope won’t retract. Please note this kit does NOT include the rope and rewind spring. When replacing this part make sure to disconnect the spark plug wire before starting repair.

Pull rope would not recoil, spring was bad
DAVE - November 14, 2015

Tool Type
Chain Saw
Difficulty
Medium
Time
30-60 minutes
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Pliers
Parts Used
Remove the starter housing from the saw. Untie the knot on the starter rope at the starter handle. Let the rope recoil into the housing so the tension is taken off of the starter spring. Remove the screws that secure the starter hub and the rope pulley. Remove the hub and pulley from the saw. Remove the starter rope from the old pulley. Place the new rope pulley onto the starter housing and make sure the pulley aligns with the recoil spring. Install the pulley retaining screw at the edge of the rope pulley. Rotate the rope pulley so that it tensions the recoil spring. Wind the spring until it won't go any farther and then back it off until the hole in it for the rope lines up with the rope hole in the starter housing. Thread the rope through the starter housing and into the hole in the rope pulley. Tie a knot in the rope at the rope pulley. Carefully let the rope retract back into the starter but don't let it all go in. Thread the rope through the starter handle and tie a knot. Install the new easy start spring to the rope pulley and align the new starter hub to the spring. Secure with the screw. Re-install the starter to the saw and test.

I took the unit apart after reviewing the instructions. New parts nearly fell into place and the unit was in operational shape. Thirty minutes tops. The cost of the repair kit was by far less than I expected it to be. Delivery was on the date quoted.
