starter assembly for 97 vmax sx

[CaptBillvmax700]

I recently broke the cord on my recoil for sled i tried to put a new cord in and took the whole thing apart without realizing that wasnt necessary. Now my recoil is real short, is there anyway to fix it?

Did you use a shorter rope? If I remember the
rope should be about 5-6' long.

Any good small engine repair will rewind that with new rope for $15. I hate recoils.

 

[A couple of bucks]

Vicegrips are helpful when re-spooling any recoil.

i used 5 used plenty of rope, but i think the spring isnt wound enough i should have never taken it all the way apart.

 

[A couple of bucks]

Wind it up really good and clamp it in place so it doesn't spool. Then thread new in and knot.

I used this Youtube video to rewind mine. Pretty simple.
