Hub Spring Repair
I put the recoil Starter hub spring in and the Chainsaw started right up. I did have a question. I was not sure which end of the spring should go in first. It had a yellow paint on one end. I guess I got it right or it doesn't matter, but I would like to know for sure.

The hub Eps spring would bend out of shape and not allow the cord to recoil back in saw.

I removed 4 screws holding the housing and removed the housing from the saw, then removed the screw holding the old pull start assembly and removed it. I placed the new recoil spring in the housing and then the cord hub, the eps spring and outer retainer that engages the flywheel. I found that the screw holding the assembly to the flywheel was too short. When tightened it would not allow the string to recoil. I put a small washer under the shoulder of the screw which allowed me to tighten the assembly and also allowing the string to recoil. The washer was not included in the kit or mentioned in the instructions, so you have to improvise. I made it by cutting a wire termination end which turned out to be the right size on the inside and outside. I had been dealing with this issue for some time and Poulan customer service gave me no help in resolving it.
