Description
Overview:
This genuine Husqvarna recoil spring (OEM 576 65 78-01 / MPN 576657801) is a flat, pre-coiled spring made from hardened spring steel. It sits inside the starter assembly and provides the return force that rewinds the starter rope after each pull, helping your chainsaw start reliably and reset smoothly. Designed for petrol chainsaws, it is a direct replacement for worn, fatigued, or broken springs in compatible machines, including the Husqvarna 130 and 135 Mark II. The robust spring steel construction resists deformation and maintains tension under repeated use, making it suitable for both regular domestic work and trade environments. Using the correct OEM spring protects the starter housing and pulley from undue stress and restores the factory feel of the pull-start mechanism.
