Mike'sHorseBarn 2,727 #1 Posted June 14, 2015 Need a little insight here guys. My 401 was working great yesterday, but went to start it today and the recoil quit on the second pull. It still has tension and when I took it off none of the springs were broken. It looks like when I pull it nothing is coming out to engage the flywheel. Any help would be nice because if it's possible I would like to take this to the big wheel horse show in 2 weeks. Thanks!FYI I am not a recoil starter expert lol!

Take your cover off and look for a slot in the meal somewhere that's where the dogs supposed to come out...it may be hung inside or broke off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike'sHorseBarn 2,727 #4 Posted June 21, 2015 Ok will do. I'm thinking something is hung up because the dogs aren't coming out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
