If your mower is stored out doors and the engine doesnt turn over when you pull the cord chances are that the recoil has built up some sort of corrosion or is sticking. A very simple repair…
I love this video and thanks for doing it. I wanted to see if you could
help me out. I have exactly same mower. The problem I am having is that my
ropes does not go in at all. I just purchased the whole rewind pull start
assembly.
I have taken the old/broken assembly out of the mower. The problem I am
having is how to disassemble it and replace it with the new one. Please
help out. God bless.
Thanks for this video. It was very helpful. I have a Craftsman edger and
recoil is sticking and sometimes doesn’t rewind the starter cable. I’m
going to try it lubricating it tomorrow.
The hardest part about doing any repair is getting the damn parts.
Particularly when there’s no small engine store around. And if there is one
they’re like, “We can order it for you.” and I’m just like, dude if I
wanted to order it I’d go order it off the net and probably get free
shipping and no sales tax. UGH
Your recoil spring needs to be wound tighter, so it grabs immediately,
versus allowing it to come out about a foot before it grabs, if you do
that, it will give you more rotation for each starting pull, therefore,
making it easier to start with less pulls.
@andthesunsets Glad I could help, make sure you stay safe operating lawn
equipment when your folks arent home, make sure you let a neighbor know to
keep an ear open as accidents happen
Is the pull line supposed to be retracted fully back into the engine?
Sometimes I see the pull line hooked to the handle bars… it doesn’t seem
to make any difference in terms of starting and engine operation to me.
Thanks! Helpful!

Nice one! You could make a nice few quid for yourself doing these small
little fixes for your neighbours!
Thanks this is helpful to me. I faced this problem a few times when I
wanted to mow the lawn when my dad’s at work..
Lol thx.. i took it apart and injected some lub into it. it worked fine for
a while.. then after sitting for 5mins.. its skipping again..
you are missing 1 screw there’s supposed to be three screws not 2
I don’t even bother with them when they break. I rip the pull starter off
and start it with a drill
Thanks much, found out the prong thingys were not sticking out, fixed it.
