Title: pull cord won't retract unless spark plug is out
Post by: dave1127 on September 20, 2022, 07:57:34 pm

hello,
I have a husky435 and was running my chainsaw today with no issues for a while.  Then after I tried to restart it my pull cord wouldn't retract.  I pulled the cord off and as I took the last screw out the cord retracted.  I cleaned everything and greased but the cord still wouldn't retract or would retract super slow.  I pulled the spark plug and noticed the cord would retract without any issues.  wondering where to start with diagnosing issue?

thanks
