A spring returns the rope. Ropes fray, springs weaken and pawls wear, which is why the starter stops catching or retracting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn many Suzuki models the recoil starter is the backup for the electric start, so keep it working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSigns of Wear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA frayed rope, a slow or weak return, slipping or a grinding feel all point to worn starter parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenuine parts also make the next repair easier. When every part on the machine matches the Suzuki parts diagram, you can look up the right replacement by part number, follow the service manual without surprises and know the part will line up with its mounts, fittings and neighbors.
