KEIL STARTER RECOIL ROPE 846
The Keil Starter Recoil Rope 846 is a genuine replacement pull cord designed for Keil gasoline chainsaws, particularly models in the 52cc-70cc range such as the KL5250, KL5800, KL6200, KL7000, and KL7200. This durable nylon rope serves as the essential component in the recoil starter system, allowing users to manually engage the engine with a quick pull. Engineered for high tensile strength and weather resistance, it withstands repeated use in demanding outdoor conditions, preventing frustrating mid-job failures. Ideal for routine maintenance, it restores smooth starting performance and is a cost-effective alternative to full starter assemblies.
Key Features:
- Material and Durability: High-grade braided nylon construction (typically 4.0-4.5 mm diameter) resists abrasion, UV degradation, and stretching; rated for 200-300 pulls before wear.
- Length and Compatibility: Approximately 90-100 cm long with pre-knotted ends for easy installation; fits standard Keil recoil pulleys and handles across multiple models—verify by part number for exact match.
- Ease of Replacement: Simple DIY install in 10-15 minutes; thread through the starter handle and pulley, wind onto the spool, and secure with a knot. No special tools required beyond scissors or a lighter for sealing ends.
- Performance Benefits: Provides consistent tension for reliable engine cranking; reduces arm strain with smooth glide and quick retraction via the recoil spring.
- Safety Note: Includes a looped end for secure handle attachment; always disengage the chain brake before starting.
Ideal For:
Chainsaw owners performing seasonal tune-ups or repairs after heavy use (e.g., firewood cutting or tree pruning). Essential for preventing downtime in remote areas—pair with a new starter handle if the original is cracked. Users report easy swaps and restored "like-new" starting ease, with 4.5+ ratings for value in Keil's affordable spare ecosystem.
