For some reason it took me 10 times of watching this to understand how the rope wasn't just getting wrapped around the pulley. I understand it now and this is probably the best thing I've ever seen on KZbin but man, that confused my brain. This will save me hours everyday doing lawnmowers! Even after 2 years of working on them everyday I always tell myself there is more to learn. This is a good example!

Steve, you the man! I shot my starter full of Slick 50 lubricant and added an extra loop like you describe at 02:55 and I'm back in business! This is on an old Craftsman edger that the shop told me could not be fixed because Tecumseh has been out of business over 10 years and they can't get parts. I'm glad I found your video and next time I have something like this I'll look for you first.

Hah, this one came in handy. Just watched it yesterday and today I cleaned up the carb on a Little Wonder Pro edger that has a Honda GX-120 on it. As soon as I put gas in the tank and pulled the starter rope the first time, it was left dangling on the floor. Was so glad I watched this. Just took it off, sprayed it with some silicone, pulled it a few times to loosen up the spring and it was fixed. So, I donated a little something for your trouble. Enjoy whatever few beers it will get ya.

My rope was .... very difficult to get through the hole, so I did not want to have to do that again. This method is so simple - I love it. Thank you again.

You learn something new everyday! thanks for the video and great explanation. Sometimes when I don't feel like taking off the pull starter ( I hate when the gas tank is attached), I'll pull the cord out slightly and pour a little lube through the hole where the string comes out. Give it a couple light pulls to spread the lube. Works great if the spring does not need to be adjusted.

I have been replacing and retentioning pull cords for years and i never knew that shure beats untying or cutting the knot and winding up the spring and reasambling it. Ps i always thought that notch was for some special tool to hold the wheel still used in the factory to assemble the pull started

Rescued a weed eater leaf blower from the curbside. First thing wrong was no return spring. Bought one online and today I was Fighting with it trying to get to reel up all the rope. Thought to myself, before I go crazy trying to do this there must be something on youtube. Thanks Steve you made an impossible task very easy.

Don't know much about small engines, but have learned a lot from you... it is fixed and didn't cost me a dime. Will be send you a beer soon! Thank you for what you have taught me! You get me to replace gas lines in a chainsaw that cost me a $1 and got it working for A $20 bill. Keep the saloon open! I am a customer for life.

Hey, TY so much for the very well choreographed video's! I have a learning disability, and I like how you cut out figgiting like other non-pro-cameramen videos on other YT channels. I like that you didn't figgit with flipping the mower, nor we're you wasting video time with walking to the yard. I would give you an A+ on this one video, I could follow and fix my own mower, here's to celebrating my victory of self fixing my own small home engines and machines. OH!!! My goodness, I just noticed you even categorized your videos into department type orginized, very nice! My comments come from working as an accountant and orginizated and time management are essentials to being successful. And no, I take back the A+, you deserve an A+++ TY again!! 😉
