- Starter mechanism sticks
- Weak or inconsistent ratchet return
- Spring is stretched or distorted
- Spring has broken
- Visible corrosion
- Recoil starter makes abnormal clicking or rattling noises
Why Replace the Starter Return Spring?
- Although small, the return spring is important for correct recoil starter operation. A weakened, stretched or broken spring can prevent the starter ratchet from returning properly, causing poor engagement, starter binding or abnormal wear.
- Replacing it with the genuine Tohatsu spring restores the correct factory tension and allows the recoil starter mechanism to operate as designed.
