Hi, Is there any tricks of the trade to putting on a new recoil rope on this motor. The one that is on there is in bad shape. Like to replace it before it causes me alot of headaches. thx guys. <br />Joe

I used for fix B-S lawn mower engines this way when springs broke.... it will be alot easier now with those great little stanley clamps...<br /><br />Remove the recoil/starter rope assb, pull it all the way out, clamp down in position, remove starter rope, put new one in, hold rope before removing clamps, and recoil new rope back in... Bingo... done<br /><br />
