Signs the Return Spring Needs Replacing
- Starter ratchet fails to return correctly
- Starter engagement becomes inconsistent
- Recoil mechanism sticks or binds
- Spring is bent or distorted
- Spring has broken
- Excessive corrosion
- Abnormal clicking from the starter mechanism
- Ratchet does not disengage properly after starting
Why Replace the Return Spring?
- The return springs control the movement of the recoil starter ratchet. If one becomes weakened, distorted or broken, the ratchet may fail to engage or disengage correctly, resulting in unreliable starting and accelerated wear of the starter components.
- Using the genuine Tohatsu spring ensures the correct shape and spring tension for the factory recoil starter.
