how do you get it back in. Its on a briggs. I need help fast its for my school engine. whats the easiest way to coil it up and get it back it??

coil it up by hand a pop it in without it uncoiling. i've done a many of them. it's quite simple but a pain in the rear if not done right.

haha yup do it by hand, works fine, just put it in the right way or it doesnt work, i did that a few times

o ya haha how old r u?
lol reason im askin is cuz im only 13, ask bug i pretty much know what im talkin about

what engine is it ? it might have a hole in the housing that makes it easy

yeah the old ones had that hole but were something to get them in right. especially those alluminum rewinds.

i always run the spring through the hole ,hook it in the pully , bend the tabs over , then wind the spring ,and use a pair of needle hose piers to put the end of the spring in the housing ,, then throw the rope in it .......

huh sounds like a plan. oh yeah i've got one of those real oldys. darn alluminum and steel rewind. if your not careful with those you'll cut a finger if it catches right. just might be a newer one. the newer ones are well very much easier. ooooh even had one uncoil and sling right into my face. man that hurt. they can be a pain though if your not careful and i mean a pain.

This is definately the way to go on a Briggs & Stratton recoil. It's the easiest and quickest method, and it's also the method recommended by B&S.
