Okay need some help with an Echo GT-1000 wacker. Runs but a while ago managed to get the rewind spring loose. Grrr. Any good tips on how to get the spring rewound and into the small spring holder? After that should be easy to put back together and get running again. Here's some pics.

Any help is appreciated. Am I better off just buying a new spring?

Normally I assume the fetal position and scream obscenities in that situation.

On my Echo - SRM 2100 I tried and tried. Ended up buying a new spring that comes with a very special retainer that is used to hold the sping together and slide it into the cup. Zip ties, etc wouldn't work on that one. When I got it all together, I was able to get the old spring in the new holder so I now have a spare. With out the special factory wire deal, it would never happen.

I agree! Baileys has it for $12.00. Well worth it. I believe it comes in the holder so I can just put it in the cup.

Bout the same here so far this year. All this rain everything is going to be flooded.

Funny thing is , this is the first time my FILs pond hasn't got real high in the spring long as he has owned it ? 20 yrs or so ? Its a old gravel pit,not real deep. Usually gets up real close to his garage.
It has no streams coming in or out of it. Goes up and down with the river not far away.

Haven't been down there in a couple weeks,not sure how high it is right now. Should be getting up there !

 

[tbone75]

Stihl on my flippy cap !

Gots to try and do something ! Hard to do when ya can't move. LOL

Lost every Slug race for the past 2 weeks ! Snails even whipped me ! They got extra weight with that shell ! :msp_mad:

Everything is high here, rivers roaring, every lil spring and brook running high. The lakes are higher than most spring thaw and rush off times. I have not seen the shoreline at all at my place on the lake, usually have 12-15' of beach showing this time most years. Now covered by 3' or more of water. Yep, everything is looking for some dry weather.

 

[Jimmy in NC]

Normally this time of year we are already praying for rain.. this year we are praying for dry weather. Ofcourse the project I got this summer is an occupied school so there is a hard dead line for the start of school regardless of weather...

 

[dancan]

You guy's better hurry up and get here , the beer's getting low but I did save 3 Husquees for the fire pit later tonight if we don't get rained out LOL

 

[little possum]

[dancan]

I'll trade ya all muh Husquees for a Bota !
