Boy the crank looks to protrude out quite a bit from the drum and clutch?

On a few of my other ones it'sike that I think on my super 660's and possibly the same on my ant eater super 770 I believe your able to use your bar grease tool and are able to grease the internal bearings through the end of the shaft. I don't think you can on the 754

The flywheel side of shaft also has the same thing too where your able to use the grease tool

I got a Montgomery ward powerkraft 4.0 which from my Knowledge is basically a PL-5.

The flywheel looks all sheared and not sure if the recoil is all there. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sorry I forgot to attach these

Yea that recoil looks toasted it's missing some parts a large washer and a c clip

There is a recoil assembly for a wards saw on eBay for a fair price

I have the washer and c clip, I just took those off to look at the internals.

 

[Brufab]

It's looking a bit rough to say the least. Was there any fiber washers in there aka friction washers?

 

[Brufab]

If I have time today I will look at a spare recoil assembly and see how mine compares to yours. I work 12.5 hr midnight shift in a super hot thermoforming factory so I'm pretty beat lol

Might be best to snag that recoil off eBay if it's a match. It's a decent price

 

[Homer6679]

Okay what about the flywheel? There is nothing for the recoil to grab on to unless I’m missing something

 

[Brufab]

So no starter cup then? There on eBay too. I doubt I have a spare unfortunately.

Chief problem that develops with this style recoil is either the friction washers wear out or the pawls/washers get oily. Check and replace friction washers if they are bad. (Homelite used them as well and all the Power Products type motors.). Degrease the whole mess. Fairbanks describes sharpening the trailing edge of the starter pawl (relative to the rotation of the starter pulley.) Use a flat file.

In extreme cases, the cup will be worn out. I consider this rare. Yours seems serviceable. Clean the pawls and replace the washers. Watch the pawls as you pull the rope. They should extend immediately. If not, the 'friction' part is the problem.

I see the starter cup in the second picture.

I've used a Dremel and cut new grooves into the starter cup on most of my super series and pl series saws. I have seen one starter cup that still had the factory grooves but it was split and wasn't usable
