Description
Overview:
This recoil spring is a genuine Husqvarna spare designed for the pull-start system on selected Husqvarna petrol chainsaws, including the 254 and 261. Made from durable, tempered steel, it provides the stored energy needed to rewind the starter rope and maintain correct tension, so your saw starts smoothly and reliably. It is intended to replace a worn, weakened, or broken spring within the recoil starter assembly and restores proper function without altering the original setup.
