Very good step by step instructions and not all over the place and not doing things that don't pertain to replacing the cord

Thank you. I'm a 65 year old lady and I fixed my mower thanks to your video. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 😊

I'm 10 and I fixed my gokarts cord by myself thanks for the help

In the middle of a mowing session and with weather cooling and closing the chord broke at mid-point. I quickly sourced some suitable materiel to change out the remaining part. Having replaced the chord, my mower had one pull and restarted, however without the pretensioning it all stayed outside the housing. So next job is to complete, as shown, the proper spooling this time under tension! Many thanks.

Shout out to all of those that actually watched the video all the way through to the end before running off to fix your pull starter 😂

I don't normally leave comments on videos like these but this works if you have a mower similar to what he is working on in the video.! I'm About to continue mowing my lawn now after the cord snapped thanks to this video. I thank God for engineering and for the engineers of small and big engines. Thumbs up from me.

I’m 52 and with the help of this video, fixed my lawnmower cord by myself. Seriously, I had no idea how to do this. I was even able to use my existing cord since it broke off at the knot. Thanks for the guidance!

This does work. THanks for the video. I melted the knot on both ends with a candle to make sure they didn't untie. You should tie the handle before you rewind the rope so you can skip the temporary knot step.

Wow. Thanks for this video. I changed out the starter line to my lawnmower today. Watched this video and did the job in around 7mins.

May God bless you....thank you for taking the time to do this. My husband of 24 years left and thanks to this I was able to fix my pull cord.

You make it look so easy I'm about ready to find out my rope broke and got sucked in so I'm fixing to try to figure this out today Hopefully it's as easy as it looks. Thank you for posting really helpful I hope.

Thank you for the video. I can tackle this job with confidence now. The only thing I may add: measure the new cord against the old one - and cut off excess, if necessary. I saw this in another similar how-to video. Excess cord might jam up the rewind. Thanks again.

I really appreciate your video and will be able to fix mine now! I've never had to do anything like this and feel confident now. I'm a middle-aged woman and can't thank you enough 😊😊😊

Simple video, easy to follow , but extremely helpful ,thank you so much, cord changed in four minutes 🤘🏼

Thank you so much!!! Our puppy chewed through the pull cords on both our push mowers. Ordered a spool of replacement cord and your video made it it super clear and easy how to use it. Saved us a ton of money getting them fixed professionally!!!

I watched two others before finding yours. One overcomplicated the whole process and the other didn't film what he was actually doing 😂. This video was PERFECT and I am back up and running!

Your video was quite helpful for me to repair the lawnmower string. Thank you for making it simple and easy to follow the instructions.

Bought this for my small back deck in the Eastern Sierra. kzfaq.infoUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN We get A LOT of HEAVY snow so I was a bit skeptical but it was worth it! After the first storm of the year this has exceeded expectations! It throws snow very well, even 10-12” + that said the more it piles up the harder it is to maneuver the machine. It is exceptionally light weight and overall exactly what I was looking for. If you have a large amount of snow and a lot of area to clear, you may consider something with a drive engine to help maneuverability, but for decks, second stories, roofs etc, you can’t beat the light weight to great snow throwing ratio. Side note, the chute rotator is a bit flimsy and it initially didn’t seem to work, after a few uses it seems to have loosened up.

Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower kzfaq.infoUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.

It's clear this video has been beneficial to many including myself. The only update is the handle for the pull cord has slightly changed. It no longer has the pop-out access for the cord. You'll have to use nose pliers or small screwdriver to remove the old cord. Thanks for the vid!!!

thanks a lot! Now I can go back outside and finish fixing mine. I thought I was going to have to tear it all apart. Again Thank you

Glad I could find this, my pull cord broke on my mower today and I've never replaced one before. But I bet I can right now, Thanks!!

Professionally Made how to vids like this are so much better than non

Thanks Mark...Great video, great job to explain how to replace the pull cord. Setting tension correctly is really the key to make it work.

Thanks to your video I fixed my lawnmower by myself..much appreciated

Excellent video, and very professional! I haven't replaced a cord in many years, and my owner's manual doesn't have an exploded diagram of the mechanism. Now I can fix it and finish mowing. Thanks for such a helpful video.

Thank you so much for this! 🙏 I really do appreciate it. As a women I didn’t know what to do about that power string busting 😫 as times are hard right now. You saved me a lot of money and by not wasting my time on people who otherwise might’ve made the matters worse. Easy fix 👍

Thanks so much for the video. I replaced the pull string in minutes. Saved myself some $. Very much appreciated.

Worked like a charm. I might to add that we didn't have this type of rope on hand, but we did have some paracord in our camping gear, which did just fine. I also had to hit the contact point with some WD-40, since it wasn't pulling easily at first.

The second one is probably best described as the Casio Condom! 🤣

Got lucky, I literally have the same type of mower. Using this vid 6 years later and still thank you!

Dag nabbit, wish I'd watched this video *before* going through two sets of new cords and several hours trying to figure it out for myself! Cheers bloke, you made it so much easier for me!

Great video… watched it once, went to the hardware store, came back home and fixed in about 15 minutes. The only challenge I had was the replacement cord was glued or melted at the end which made it difficult to insert into the hole. I taped the end with transparent tape really tight then cut the end. This allowed me to insert really easy. Thanks for the help.

Excellent how to video. I followed your advice and was up and cutting the yard after just 15 minutes to install the new pull string. Thx

Omg yours is the most clear and simple of way of fixing the broken starter. For a single Mom it's Amazing.

Thanks for the video and information. I had never done this before and had no clue what I was in for. I have a Troy-Bilt with a B&S 550-EX which is a little different from the Honda you show but the concept is the same and it worked perfectly. After buying the new pull cord ($4.50) from Lowes it took less than 15 minutes to change - disassembly to install. I even hummed the eHow tune as I was doing the work.

Thank you. Detailed and clearly visible; which is often a problem with this kind of vid.

I was just a regular mom but now thanks to you I am that WOMAN!!! GOD BLESS THANKS FOR THE VID😘

This was exactly just what I needed. I have a different model, but it didn't matter, you made it easy to figure out how to recoil the darn string.I fought with this mower for over 3 hours, then went to bed, stressed out, because I have to mow my yard. My neighbors were doing it for me in exchange for parking their trailer on my property, but haven't in a while and the city will fine me if I leave it too long. Well, between a broken foot, and a weedeater, I didn't get very far, after I discovered the last handyman that borrowed my mower, must have broken the pull string and didn't tell me.so I go to mow, and no string, nothing. I am tired, and stressed, and look on youtube, and find dozens of complex solutions and how to also tear the mower apart. Well ,i was fearless, and did it myself because I figured, it'd cost me $300+ to buy another one, money I don't have, and so, well if this one was broken, well all I could do is either fix it or break it a little more. and if I couldn't fix it, it was trash anyway. so, after searching for someone who had the pull string online, I went and got it. (Home depot)(Lowes, couldnt' find it, but they may have it but maybe I didn't know the right verbage). Anyway. I got up because I couldn't sleep well, and went to the garage. I discovered the coil was bent out too far, so it couldn't hold a coil, and that was problem #1, plyers bent it inward, so it'd catch and stay catched so it could coil. I had to watch this video, because other ones, couldn't make sense of how to coil the wire up inside. This one seemed wayyyyy.... tooo easy, but what the heck try it anyway. Walllah.... It worked. then I just reassembled the various parts. of which i fortunately remembered how they came apart. though another video had same model and showed how to disassemble and assemble, so I could find it again ...I think(though the string coiling was complicated on that one.), Anyway, put the whole thing back together, and pulled and wallahh... it tried to start! Now I think I just need some gas! Horray.... Well its 2:01 am, so I shall wash up and go back to bed! Not bad I have to say, for a lady, who's never tried her hand at any kind of mechanical repairs before! Thank you!

Excellent video, very clear directions and by far easiest to follow of all I watched on KZfaq - many thanks.

My dog chewed my string, this video step by step really helped. Thank you!

Best demo I’ve seen on KZfaq, I think I will give this a try !

I’m 5 years old and I change my ca thanks for the help

Thanks for the video. My pull cord broke when I only had about 15 minutes worth of mowing left. Watch the video and withen 30 minutes I was done mowing. I used paracord however instead of buying new string.

Thank you!!! Made my life so much easier. If the end of the cord is frayed, wrap the end with a little bit of tape to make it easier to insert. I ended up threading some fishing line through it as well, tied it to the rope, and then pulled the fishing line to help guide the rope through the spool hole.

Thanks. Totally got me through the hard part of figuring out how to rewind the spring part!

This is still the OG video on the topic!

Thank you so much for this easy demonstration to replace string on mower. 🙏🙏

Thank you for posting this great demonstration. I just pulled out the cord - don't know my own strength (I'm sure the fact that the mower is about 20 yrs. old is just a side note 🤪), but I'm sure you saved me a considerable amount of money & aggravation! Thank you!

Hope I can do this ! Looks simple but I haven’t had much luck with repairs on lawnmower! Ughhh

Oh mark, you taught me that sooo hard.

This was so easy to learn with your great video. Thank you so much. 🎉

Wow! A $50 dollar job only cost me $5 bucks and 15mins of my time ....thank you brother!!!!

Thanks, just replaced my mower starter cord after watching your film. Saved myself a few pounds.

This one is way better then the first video they show you that you have to be a engineer to understand the math he was spouting😂🤣

THANK YOU! Compared to other videos out there...that was super helpful and easy!

It might be easy, but it's good to know the little tricks that make it easier and better. Thanks dude, good video.

Excellent!!! This makes it easy

This was great! I should have watched this BEFORE I started taking it apart! I did this the hard way !

Thanks for the tips, replaced mine.

Mark, you’re a lifesaver. Many thanks.

Thanks Mark - This video helped me a lot - Cheers

Dude, I wish I knew how easy this was. I haven't been able to mow my lawn and my neighbor is a nosy cop who just got on to me for my tall grass

I dont why everyone puts their age in the comments so: I’m a 32 male and i managed to fix it! Thanks

Thanks for the information buddy I repaired mine this evening...

Thanks, just pulled my snowblower handle and broke the rope. Simple fix with these detailed instructions!

Thanks so much i Replaced the Cord

Brilliant vid. Thanks for your help, worked really well👍

Wow that was so easy ...thanks for your video

All fixed! Thanks very much!

Well I’m off here to purchase new rope hopefully I can do this 🙏🏼🤞🏻❤️

Nice and precisely done. 💯

Very good video, very helpful 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

thanks for this video, it's concise and helpful. I was able to fix my pulley in a few minutes after watching this.

10/10 product worked as advertised.

Excellent video. Thank you.

Awesome job! Thanks for the step-by-step instruction I have a mower I need to do this to today.

Best and simplest explanation I found.THANK YOU!!

Very detailed informative video.

Best video ever

Thanks for the vid. Simple and informative. How KZfaq should be.

Worked a treat thanks alot

Thank you so much for the knowledge on thus!

Legend mate😎

Thx for the help. My pulley assembly was riveted down so i had to finagle a bit to get it through. Worked best going the opposite way in instead. Guess I couldve drilled out the rivets and replaced em with bolts and nuts but didnt look like itd be that hard to do. Wouldve been easier too with some really narrow tipped needle nose pliers or the like but managed to eventually and very slowly work it in or rather out

Thank you. Very informative. Got me back up and running.

Your awesome!! Easy simple steps others take forever to get to the actually maintenance!! Thank you!!

Dang just like that.....KZfaq is the go to for easy fixes!!!

Thanks had to improvise but got the job done.

Thanks you for this, very helpful

Than You so much for teaching us

Just followed this for a chainsaw - thank you, saved a great deal of time not tearing down the recoil....

Thanks for this video. I feel confident I can fix the mower without bothering the husband.

Very helpful !!! ThankYou 🌻

Very helpful, thank you very much.

Great work...You are gifted thanks for sharing your skill...After I fix up One pull it was ok
