Father's Day c5 problem

[drockaf]

so i wanted to get my dad's old c5 convertible drive saw fixed but i'm running out of options on finding parts hopefully someone here could possibly point me in the right direction im definitely new to the older homelite saws, me and my friends all use huskies (that's probably a curse here) but anyhow i know how much this saw means to him his father passed it down to him and he refuses to get or use a new one. It still runs amazing it is just the recoil starter broke and blew out the side so you have to wind the rope around the pull everytime you want to start it and I would really like to find a replacement side or another c5 that could be used for parts. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Have you checked on ebay. I think I've seen a couple recoil assembly floating around on there every now and again. good luck. -obr
