Re: starter rope

Welcome rkalainof!

Can you feel any resistance when you pull the rope out or will it rewind with some help? Many times it's just the grease in around the recoil spring that gets hard and makes the spring hard to recoil. Shoot some WD-40 around the spring and see if it will losen up. May have to help it some.

Re: starter rope

some times a couple of good thumps on the top will free them up.

Re: starter rope

rk....punch the link below. It'll take you to the BRP site. Click on engine diagrams and follow the prompts. You can get the parts breakdown of your recoil starter and have a look at what you need to do. You can get part numbers also.
