Those damned 2100's are tough enough to pull over if everything is in good order .If however the bushing gets worn on the starter drum it's next to impossible .I made a new brass bushing for mine .I've seen other saws wear the bushings out too so it's not just the big Huskeys that do it .
Now...
Look through the exhaust port .Mine is the fat one .I might be mistaken but I think someone said the fattys were 1.5 MM ring thickness . Could be wrong on that though
Another way is just pull it over .If it's about like roping over a Harley it's a fat one .
I've used modern multi layered composite wire from scaped out stuff from work but it's a little tricky . A person is better off if it comes to that to use copper wire .
Modern automotive wire is a type that uses carbon fibered conductors and is good for about 100,000 volts which you don't need...
All righty then .Say though if you ever do have to splice a primary wire use something like Scotch 130C tape . It's rated for high voltage but it's pricey at 13 bucks a roll . Shelf life is about five years before it self vulcanizes . Then it's like a hockey puck with a hole in the middle .
After I got that 2100 Husky from that guy who was on here a short time ,you couldn't hardly pull the thing over .It was just the bushing on the starter drum plus a screwed up rope .
I was a little concerned for a short .Thought I bought a bucket of bolts .
I'm glad that's all it was .Incidently one of the zillionths of times I worked on Toms' 038 Mag which I now own ,that was exactly what was wrong with it .Some times you get lucky .:)
