Description
Overview:
This genuine Husqvarna recoil spring is a replacement part for the pull-start mechanism on selected Husqvarna professional and domestic chainsaws. Built from high-tensile spring steel, it restores the correct return tension to the starter assembly so the cord rewinds cleanly after each pull. A precise fit for the original housing, it helps deliver a smooth, dependable start and consistent performance in tough conditions. Designed for models including the Husqvarna 281 and 288, it is suitable for regular maintenance or repair when the starter becomes slow to retract, loses tension, or fails after fatigue. Supplied to OEM specification and identified by part number 501 52 04-02, this Genuine Part supports long service life, reliable operation, and safe, efficient starting across a broad range of compatible saws.

Typical Applications:

Common during scheduled maintenance or after heavy use by arborists, foresters, landscapers, and farm or estate teams. Helps keep saws starting reliably for felling, logging, snedding, and general grounds work.
