Lawnmower starter rope broke (also the pulley/spring assembly)

The starter rope broke, as well as, I found out when I disassembled the housing, the pulley / spring assembly had also broken. I removed the entire shroud / cover, cleaned the assembly, removed the old pulley assembly and inserted the new one. Feed the starter rope into the pulley and tie off.
Have a screwdriver handy and turn the pulley assembly counter-clockwise until its taught, insert the screwdriver to keep the spring from unwinding and mount the shroud back to the engine. Once that's done, remove the screwdriver while keeping tension on the cord.
Reattach the cord to the mower handle.

The pull rope wouldn’t return to pull again.

The job is pretty simple, if you don’t pop the spring off. Even so it’s not to hard to rewind the spring if you just turn it upside down and rewind the spring back into its housing. The one problem I had was that I had a housing screw that had striped out and when you pulled on the rope it would not rewind. Once I figured out that the loose screw would let the housing pull up and would screw up the dog ears. Once I tapped out the screw so that it would get tighten everything worked fine.

Lawn mower rope broke and messed the spring up so it had to be replaced

put the new pulley on the shaft so the spring was hooked then wound the pulley a few turns counter clockwise and held it in place with a screw driver. Fed the new rope in and tied it the held the rope and slowly let the pulley wind the rope on to it. Then put the fly wheel cover on the engine and started the engine with one pull.
A small sheet of instructions came with the parts so no mistakes were made on winding the spring.

Everything Worked Out Swimmingly!

I have to say, from watching the videos to diagnose my repair job, to finding the right part/assembly to replace, then watching the installation video, this was a tremendously seamless operation. I am really impressed with the way things are set up by this organization, and will be back should something else fail on my equipment! Thank you for putting this all together to help us DIYers get ti done!
