Re: Bizarre B&S rewind spring(s) - one broken spring
I took a much closer look at the short end. Yes, it is one spring that broke.
The very short radius of the broken end (not possible at normal temperatures) had me confused. After cleaning, the end shows obvious
signs of heating, perhaps...
Note, that I have solved my immediate problem and am posting here to satisfy my curiosity.
I have a mower with a B&S 128T02-3256 engine. I have downloaded the proper manual. The manual shows a starter with a typical rewind spring, which I have seen and repaired before.
The rope broke inside...
