Ziggy122 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I've become very quick at recoiling and re-inserting the bobbin into pullstarts This method im about to show i learnt from my modelshop and off other forums First of all You will need 1x Pullstart ( bobin with string attached - Pullstart casing - Coiled Spring) 2x thin and small cable ties 1x needle nose pliers 1x Small screwdriver (in the diagram i have a cocktail stick and a slightly big screwdriver due to not having a small screwdriver) First of all Place the coil of spring inside the bobbin - and make sure you have the spring the right way that the hook on the other end is able to slot into the casing Its most annoying to coil and to find it dont fit cause its on backwards Keep the spring as tight as possible by keeping a fair amount of pressure on it with ur thumb Once the coil is on fairly tight - place 2 cable ties at oppersite ends - like so You will need to keep about 1" inch off the end to allow you to place the end back in Simply place the bobbin inside the case - the 2 thin cable ties may make it a snug fit, just apply some gentle pressure At this point - you will to have NO string on the bobbin except a small amount like a 1/4 turn. Less there is the better Simply using the small screwdriver just push the clip on the end of the spring into the holding spot on the casing. This can be a little fidly if you have to much or not enough spring avaible, each pullstart is different Once the hook is on - Cut the 1 cable tie at a time, pulling out the remain of the cable tie with the needle nose pliers - it may be hard todo - just keep wiggling and tugging with some pressure and it will slowly come out Now do the same again for the other cable tie - however be careful - as you cut this one as the bobbing will spin - depending on how tight the spring is. So just keep you thumb on the bobbin. Once the 2nd cable tie is removed Slowly let a bit of pressure off - and the string at this point will start recoiling back in the diagram shows mine recoiling back in Right so now the string has recoiled in but not all the way and looks like this Well done - you repaired the pullstart it will work again now - but that floppy cord needs to be sorted this next process is called Retensioning Start off by pulling out the cord about 1 1/2 times of the circumference of the bobbing I used a cocktail stick here - but a small screwdriver works the same pull the string out just before it leaves the casing - but after the And pull it to the point where the pull handle will sit as normal While keeping the pressure on the bobbing using the small screwdriver loop the string around manually like so Once the String has gone around once - you may have a little left - just pull the handle to take it outside the casing Let you thumb off slowly And the cord shud now sit comfortably where it shud do like new Re:attach any other accessory that some pullstarts have that prevent the bobbing popping out. In the example used a Hyper .21 pullstart - there is no protection. Just give the pullstarts a few test tugs (just using ur thumb to be sure it works without jumping out) to make sure it works fine You may find the starter is now very stiff. This is due to the fact all the greasy black stuff on the spring is now on your hands. Just simply down the centre of the bobbin - Just put a few drops of WD40 in - a few pulls - a few more drops - a few pulls. Till the starters moves freely again I hope this has helped you repair that pullstart First time it takes about 30mins - but the more its done the quicker it is I can currently do a pullstart in 7 - 10 mins Ziggy ALL images used are taken by me - all rights reserve with me All Rights belong to Ziggy122 This is for use only on MSUK-Forums + Je spares Forum Please contact me via PM if u wish to use this guide outside this forums Thanks Ziggy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_rc Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Great Guide Zig, just a shame it didn't work for me. I was starting to run my savvy in, I couldn't start it so my Dad had a go, he pulled the cord straight out So going to JE Spares tomorrow morning to pick one up. Don't really want to go Roto coz when my mates Hyper 7 pullstart snapped, I posted for him and he was advised not to go roto, so he went starter box I don't know why but it just wont work. Going to have to buy a new one. I can't get the bobbin to work right. Its snapped some of the plastic off so its nackered really. If it ever happens again,I'll take another look at the guide.

Ziggy122 Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 When the spring retainer breaks on the bobbin - then it is screwed mate.... However save the spring it might work in another pullstart I prefer pullstarts as i know what the engine is doing Just dont pull to hard (just quick sharp and short pulls - its not a lawnmower....)

I cant see why u cant change the cord Just knot one end - feed it throught the bobbin, and tie the other into the handle using the clip if it uses a clip, i've never had to string a pullstart But i honestly cant see why it cant be done Ziggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
