Repair for craftsman chainsaw?

I have a craftsman 18in chainsaw. After a few uses pull cord busted; recoil spring didn't work. I tore it apart and tediously put back together. Worked a little, but busted again. I got fed up and bought a Stihl ms290.Night and Day. My question is if there is an aftermarket part that will fix my craftsman?

I pull the rope and it won't recoil. It's like the spring doesn't have enough tension. Part of the spring will actually pop out of the housing. I have to pull the rope housing off and pull the spring out, put it on a bench; wind it and attempt to reinstall. That's what i get for buying a clearance item from sears. I bought an electric hedge trimmer from there also and it doesn't cut worth a darn. Is there anything with Craftsman stamped on it that is worth buying?
