Broken starter spring / 020avp

A couple inside turns of the rewind spring broke off . Has
anyone ever tried to heat up the end and try to reform it? I
hate to piss away money if I don't have to.

Thats how guys fix them in harder to get springs. Using heat and
bending them.
I have never had to do that yet.

Thanks for that. I did place an order with Northwood saw 2
nights ago. That was a great price . I also got a chain and a
carb kit. Total shipping was $7.95. No one else even came close
on price.
I also practiced heating and bending the broken piece. I got
pretty good at it too.
Thanks again for the reply.
Chris
