I had a starter rope break on me the other day. I always keep two or three spares in the truck so it was just a matter of about five minutes getting the saw back in action. The spares I had were a bit short (24”…not sure why they were cut so short). It worked but I had to be careful not to pull to the end and stress it. Anywho…I was looking on Amazon the other day and found the exact same cord as the saw shop sold me…except it was MUCH cheaper. Here’s the link if anyone is interested. Twelve meters for less than $8. I want to say the shop charged me that much for two.
