Can't Pull Lawnmower Rope??? EASY FREE FIX!!!

Originally recorded May 14, 2018.
Is your lawnmower engine locked up??? Can't pull the rope? You may be able to free it up without any special tools at all. Just watch this video to find out how.

[@Lindyworld]

Thank you so much! Saved me so much grief. Thank goodness for youtubers like yourself who take the time to share tips like this.

[@jaykay18]

My pleasure! This mower had to be fixed anyway, so it really wasn't much more time or trouble to make the video. I figured if it happened to me, it's got to be happening to others.

[@Bobbi-vt6xx]

I said "WOW" !! couldn't believe it. I bungeed corede the handle, leaned the mower back and turned the blade !! Cord pulled right away !! Need more simple videos that actually work !! AMAZING !! THANK YOU !! Who ever would have thought !! ?

Oh man, that's GREAT to hear! When I get comments like that, it makes it all worth it! I'm very glad to help you out! I'm no expert, but I do have a keen sense on how things work. I also realize that if I had this problem, many others probably do too. And I take the time to read and respond to every comment, unlike most who make a video and then disappear.

[@moonwalkergal]

You have NO idea how helpful this was to me. I have 3 able bodied brothers who should be more than willing to cut my mom's grass . My dad passed away in 2009 . When I was a little girl...I would always ask my dad if I could help him. His answer was always "no...you're a girl . You just sit there. Well, I sat and I watched and I learned many things . What I did not know was that when I grew up, I would have to do "those things" because my mom cannot depend on her sons. So today, I had a lawnmower handle that was in the 'stuck mode'...came to your site and BAM! I Your tutorial worked. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!!

[@jaykay18]

You are so very welcome! For whatever reason, this mower, as I've learned with many others, do this. I pulled mine out today for the first time and of course it was stuck. Did my little trick and it fired right up, grass looks great! I wish I had an answer as to why it happens, but as long as it un-sticks, who cares? Happy mowing!

[@motocatz87]

We are one of the same. I always wanted to help my dad and now here I am mowing my mom's lawn who is turning 90 yrs old this year. My dad would be happy that one of his daughters stepped up and took care of his beloved lawn.

The same thing happened to me today; ran over some debris while cutting overgrown grass, took it hard on myself for a while then I decided to flip it up with the brick at the end to look underneath it. Turned out there was rotted bungy cord rapped around the blade so I took a knife to cut that sucker off, the only stupid thing I did before finding your video was that I didn't unplug the spark plugg oops! So I tried it again, and still it was stuck. So I gave up on it for a while longer before deciding to go to KZbin, tried other videos about it, nothing. And then your video came up and it was exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much for the video brother, and for the first attempt thank god I still have my hands!

[@RedDwarf1853]

I can't thank you enough for this tip.I used the mower yesterday then for some reason it started reving really high.I assumed it was the governor spring.While I was trying to diagnose the fault I notice I couldn't pull the cord.The engine just didn't want to turn over.I followed your tip and to begin with it was really tight to turn over the engine.I kept on trying then it was suddenly free again.I got it to start and it ran absolutely fine.Thank you so much I thought it was seized.

[@jaykay18]

The over-revving may have caused that to happen. But being that you were able to get the engine unstuck, and if it runs fine now, you should be all right. Make a concerted effort to check the oil each time before you mow, just in case it has started burning oil. All engines burn oil, worn engines burn more. Mine is very worn. On really hot days when the grass is really tall and the mower has to work hard, I can see the smoke from mine only when I stop the engine. Mine is probably due to all of the factors I've listed. Oddly, since this time it happened to mine, it hasn't gotten stuck again, where they year before this video was shot, it was also stuck. Now we both know what to do if it occurs.

[@jaykay18]

Yep, cleaning under there is normal maintenance. I hose the underside of mine off every time I mow. The blade, even when sharp, is way too blunt to really hurt you. With one element of the fire triangle missing, you'd probably have a better chance of being struck by lightning than it firing. Not to mention you're really not spinning it fast enough for it to pop off. No need to be scared. Freak accidents are always a possibility, but you can't go around in life thinking an airplane will fall out of the sky and kill you. Happy mowing.

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. It worked. I saw other videos but yours is the one that fixed my mower. I saved your video and subscribed. Again thank you so much. God bless you for sharing your videos.

[@jaykay18]

Thank you for the kind words! It's comments like yours that let me know I did a good job, and gives me the stamina to continue on. Thank you for subscribing! Feel free to look around, there are PLENTY of videos that I have made to help people out.

I just finished my mowing thanks to your video! Your video is perfect for nerds like me with your safety reminders. Besides emptying the bag, I almost always clean the inside of my lawnmower right after using it. But this last time I didn't, and the cord wouldn't budge. I disconnected the spark plug, put it on its side, and cleaned underneath and turned the blade like you did. Voila! It started.

Great to hear Jane!

Thank you so much! it worked for me. My neighbor told me I had to take it all apart. I am glad I decided to check youtube first.

[@jaykay18]

Excellent! Glad to hear it! Saved a bunch of time and trouble, and you're all set.

Thank you so much!!! Lawnmower fixed within minutes of watching your video. You're the man!!!

[@jaykay18]

You're welcome! Happy mowing!

[@savanah6877]

Yup. It works just the way you said. My problem was that grass jammed the blade, so when I got under there I just had to clear the grass. I heard the motor start to labor so I shut it off and then when I tried re-starting is when the cord was stuck. Back in business. Thanks for doing this post.

[@jaykay18]

Sure thing!

I just got a new mower and I had to connect the rope to the side of the handle but it wouldn't pull out. But thanks to your video I got it. Thanks.
