Title: Re: Husky 435 Pull Cord Issue

Would suggest internal recoil issue. Remove the unit as a whole and inspect operation- if all the plastic components are intact and undamaged, then your recoil spring could have snapped. Will have enough tension in the spring left to retract the rope once not under any load, but as soon as pressure applied- such as fitted to the machine it won't have the tension required to retract the rope.

Title: Husky 435 Pull Cord Issue
Post by: dave1127 on September 28, 2022, 03:42:42 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?  Seems like there might be an issue with cylinder exhaust port possibly??  Not sure where to start.  Anyone have this issue before?

thanks
