The Makita 234193-3 Starter Spring is a genuine replacement recoil spring for the pull-start mechanism on the Makita EK6100 disc cutter. Manufactured from tempered spring steel, this flat spiral spring restores the correct tension within the starter assembly, ensuring the cord rewinds smoothly and the pawls engage reliably with each pull. A fatigued or broken starter spring is a common cause of hard starting and false pulls on petrol power cutters, making this a practical and cost-effective repair rather than a full assembly replacement. Designed as a direct, like-for-like fit for the EK6100's compact starter housing, it matches the OEM cup and reel geometry without modification. Installation is straightforward using standard workshop tools, making it suitable for tradespeople carrying out on-site repairs, hire fleet maintenance teams, and workshop technicians keeping equipment in reliable daily service.
