Difficult to draw starter cable in Husqvarna ST 151 blower

Hi Guys,

I own an ST 151 Husqvarna snow blower and it has been getting progressively harder to get it to start – the recoil cable seems to be stiffening up after each use. Any idea what the problem here could be?

Hey Lionel,

It’s quite likely that your recoil cable may be frozen and fraying – this happened to me last winter and the solution was to simply allow it to thaw with a warm water soaked towel, there’s a detailed guideline to the process in the instruction manual.
