Replace pull cord on Stihl MS 180 C chainsaw

SOURCE: removing handlebar on stihl ms 270 chainsaw

you have to take the top cover off of the engine and then remove the tab that holds the bushing in place alongside the engine. if you just start prying on the plastic plug from the outside of the handle you will damage the retainer. that holds it in place. If you have already done this, there is a solution.

i had the same thing with a stihl hedgecutter its a part in the centrefruge that locks if you pull to hard pull slow and let all the cord come out let it in half way full choke on start just where it used to lock and it will start . the bad news .it wont last for long before you smash the wheel thats plastic and if its over about 5 years old they dont have a replacement part hope this helped

take the bar off and give it a good clean, get compressed air and blow it into the oil tank, making a seal around it first
