Been putting the recoil together on the chainsaw I discussed down below with mostly new parts. I've tightened the new rope several times. Put on a new containerized spring and used the old spring lock. Anyway, works fine when its off the flywheel, retracting back but when I put it on the flywheel the rope will not retract back and pulls hard. I've got the rope retracting strongly when its off the flywheel and flywheel seem to turn easily and I have compression. Any ideas what I'm missing ? Put a little oil on the spring as it seemed a little stiff and it freed it up nicely but with a load is not working. Thanks in advance for any help.

Same issue here with my project SXLAO. I'm thinking that the type of rope may be something to consider but I'm unsure if it's the cause of it not retracting. I was trying to start the engine today and all was well for about a dozen pulls then it wouldn't retract until I removed tbe starter case. I used thin rope that got tangled up around the pulley and then used thicker rope that may be too loose or pliable. Not sure if either of these types of rope are correct, just found it in my garage and gave it a try.

I used the actual part number rope so I'm kind of ruling it out. I used the old style 2 piece spring lock bushing which may be the problem ? The parts pictures show a one piece spring bushing. They also show a spring inner shield(metal, I think) with the containerized spring and mine is a piece of plastic which may also be the problem. I bought the whole starter assembly on ebay yesterday fairly reasonable so I will see if that works soon.

Put the new used starter assembly on the sxla yesterday and recoils fine. So I believe the starter pulley is wore enough that it was the problem as the new used one looks pristine. The new used assembly needs an on/off switch though. So I'm looking for 2 parts, 1 switch-a57650-3a and starter pulley-a-64446. I may try to do a little filing on the pulley to see if I can fix it before I buy a new one.
