Sorry, we couldn't find any existing installation instruction that matched.

Lawn mower starter rope would not retract. The retaining gear on the spring was worn and would not make good contact to recoil.

Removed the 3 nuts on the old starter assembly. Lifted the assembly off the mower.
I checked the length of the new rope and it was significantly shorter than my original rope. I was able to remove the old rope, remove the new rope, keeping the assembly wound tight. I placed the old rope into the new spring assembly while the assembl y was wound tight. It recoiled nicely and then I attached it to the lawn mower and tighten the 3 screws. Everything went smoothly. It took about 15-20 minutes.

Yet to complete. Seems the starter assembly is hard to fit in the cover and get on the motor. My motor faces front not back and there is a bar making the progress much harder than I originally thought.
