Why wont the pull cord retract on my honda eu20i generator?
Some tension? Usually with that retractor unit on the bench the spring has to be pre-tensioned sufficiently to retract the pull cord with alacrity ie not “just enough” but with speed and force.
I found that it would need the same number of turns plus 1 and you need to be carefull when doing the pre-tension as the mechanism can jump out and you might get hit...
