I used this video to replace my broken pullstring. Worked like a charm. Thanks AdamDIY!!! One more thing that I would add is if your recoil spring seems to be a little sticky (mine was) and your pull cord doesn't always spring back in, you can use some silicone lubricant while you have it open to lubricate where the recoil spring slides against the outer plastic. Mine now recoils better than it did when it was new.

Thanks for the video! I had mine done in 15 minutes. Fortunately I didn't unspool the metal coil! Great job on the video! Spot on! Keep up the good work!

Thank you! I was able to fix my similar blower with your help. The plastic impeller on mine would spin before the nut would come loose, so I had to remove the spark plug and wedge something in there to hold the piston in place while taking that nut off, but everything else went smoothly.

Very well done Sir. If it were me I would have washed all those black plastic parts and then re-assembled it. I like clean parts to work with.

Thanks! This video helped me fix a blower I acquired from a family friend.

Would their be an easy way to convert it to starting with a power drill?

How the hell do you lose your socket wrench, the most important tool in your box?

[thomascarman]

What if rope goes back it slow and some times not very much

[nolanknows]

How come you didn't have to tense up the recoil spring? Don't you have to spin it a few times to get it tense?

[ericwes]

So that fan blade nut is counter-clockwise to loosen?

I wish you would have not cut out the Spring Coil part to rewind it... On my leaf blower ( the same as yours), the coil unwound when I was repairing it. I am trying to figure out how to rewind it and can't find any videos to help. Otherwise great video! Could you either make a new video showing how to rewind it or shoot me an email. If you do make a new video, shoot me an email anyways so I know to check it out. PLEASE HELP!
