Recoil starter cord broke

Mike from Melbourne Beach, Florida

Easiest way to repair was to replace the cord and recoil assemby as a unit. Only three nuts hold the recoil starter assembly in place. Your parts consultant gave me a choice of three different units with prices starting at $11 and going to $33. We discussed the differences and he was very helpful in selecting the lowest priced unit as it did not appear to be any different from the top priced unit. I chose the lowest priced unit and it works just fine. He saved me about $20. He also suggested that if for any reason the assembly was not compatible with my Honda engine, that the unit was fully returnable and could be exchanged.

I simply unscrewed the old broken assembly and screwed in the replacement part which was an exact match. The foam grip I took the bolt off of one side of the upper handle and removed all attachments on that particular side and I used a little WD40 to lube handle to help the new grip slide into it\'s proper place, reattached everything.

Lawn mower rope frayed

For this particular fix, I decided to replace the entire \"pull start setup,\" rather than just replacing the frayed rope. On the Toro Mower I own, this was a pretty easy fix.

Thanks for your help on this!
