Husqvarna 445 Pull Starter Problems


Recommended Posts

Basically either the string won't retract, or the starter won't engage with the engine (sorry I don't know the names of all the parts).  

 

Sometimes, if I get everything tightened just right, it works.  For a few starts, then it goes back to its usual tricks.  

 

I've seen the string catch like in this video @1:06.

 

@1:36 he shows where his part is warped and ovalled, but mine looks o.k.

 

The other side looks good too.

 

The Husqvarana kit to replace this is nearly $50 on eBay, which is a heckuva lot considering the original parts didn't go 2 years without trouble.
