Hey for some reason my pull start the string will have a hard time retracting back in. I am wondering why is it doing this? Do i need to get a new spring for the pull start or what? Because i notice it is not attracting back in good..

They are not difficult to repair if they are a common type and it's just the spriing end. Often the end clip bends or snaps and with a bit of care you may get lucky and put a new bend on it, coil it up and it's good again. If the housing lugs are broken, then sadly it's a new pullstart.

Well aint this funny, i was about to post about an issue im having with my pull start. Its thunder tiger .21. The cord came completely out. I was wondering if i could rewind it, like on a lawnmower. Would be nice if i could dont wanna have to get a new one. Don't have the money right now. Plus it would be nice to get it fixed since its now 50 degrees out yay :) gotta love Wisconsin winters....

The sling is not broken of nothing.. I just thought the spring could stretch and cause this. I am going too try to recoil the spring tighter and give that a shot.
