Description
Overview:
This Starter Ratchet/Spring is a genuine Makita component for the recoil starting system on selected Makita petrol chainsaws. Supplied as a ratchet with matching return spring, it is engineered from hardened steel and tempered spring steel to resist wear and repeated impacts. The ratchet engages the flywheel when you pull the starter cord and releases smoothly to avoid drag, restoring consistent starting performance. It's a like‐for‐like replacement that helps when the original parts are worn, sticking, or broken. Designed for an accurate fit on models such as the DCS330S-35 and DCS340-30, it installs using standard hand tools with no modification, making it suitable for both professional servicing and DIY maintenance.
Key Features:
- Genuine Makita part for assured fit and compatibility
- Hardened steel ratchet and tempered spring steel for durability
- Restores positive engagement and clean disengagement of the recoil starter
- Helps prevent slipping, erratic engagement, and poor starting
- Direct replacement with factory dimensions for straightforward fitting
- Stable performance under repeated pulls and temperature changes
- Suitable for routine maintenance to extend overall starter life
- Supplied under Makita's quality standards for long service
Typical Applications:
Used to replace a worn or damaged recoil starter ratchet and return spring on Makita chainsaws. Ideal when the pull cord fails to engage, slips intermittently, or the starter does not retract and release cleanly. Suitable for workshop repairs, field fixes, and scheduled maintenance to keep saws starting reliably.
Also known as:
Often referred to as a recoil starter ratchet, starter dog, flywheel pawl, pull-start ratchet, pawl spring, return spring, or starter engagement kit. These terms describe the components that engage the flywheel during starting and then retract to allow free running.
