We always just kind of guessed at the length of the rope, how many turns to turn the spring. and then we would wrestle with the knots and threading like dealing with an rabid overcaffeinated earthworm.

I just come in to take a look at anything you're up to.... Kinda like a neighbour just dropping into a mate's shed to catch up and spin a story or two or just look at gear. My neighbour went away gold prospecting for three weeks and he gave me his mulcher Briggs Stratton and he pulled it a few times and it barely started for him.... And so next day I gave it a few pulls and it gave a couple of coughs before stopping and next pull broke the start cord.... Love your videos... Neat trick to pull the cord through an extra foot and then knot it.

Hi. Steve. Just a quick add on. These always break at absolutely the wrong time! Mine was just before last years U.S. F1 grandprix! I couldn't get a rope, and mine had snapped right in the middle. As an emergency measure, I used a double length of paracord, it worked well, it got the mover started until Ebay brought my new one. FYI Thanks to your tutorials, I stripped, cleaned and rebuilt 2 honda cards, adjusted the governor on one mower and adjusted the valve clearances! Great videos my friend. Stay safe.

Steve I always fix my own tools been doing tree work for 30 years and I always work on my own tools unless I get to a point where I just can't figure it out. I've wound them ropes up a lot of different ways pretty much depends on the situation at the time. hold them with Vise grip so they don't go back in using the screwdriver method so it doesn't unwind oh yeah but I have never seen it done like that I'm going to have to try that next time, unbelievable man, hats off. Almost Every time I see one of your channels I learn something new. But what I like about your show is even if I do know what you're doing and I have done it the same way . You still have an unbiased way of explaining the scenario for the people who really don't have a clue. You're very thorough an I enjoy watching how you teach people. You explain it so well even a caveman can do it.

You know what Steve! You said once about a comment, "if he knew what he was doing he wouldn't be watching my videos. " BUT, even though I have enough tailgate experience to think I do , i really like watching all your videos to see how you do it. NOW here it comes..... if he had to get that generator started, he didn't need the rope return, he could have lashed that rope onto the hub , that's what those little notches on the rim are for. The dangerous thing about this is you might look that rope and handle on the device and use it next time, and next time , till you misplace the cover or bolts , then procrastinate till 4 years go by and you find it all in a box and finally put the return back on.

Great tip/hack there buddy. Subscribed :) Question: The wife was running the mower (older B&S Classic 35). Tank and carb fell off. Bolts vibrated loose. I put it back together again, but it won't run. At best it fires a bit out of the air intake. I can't figure out what the hell is wrong. Any ideas? If there's supposed to be a rubber O-ring on the carb sealing the carb and intake stud, then she lost it.

Thanks so much for this, we had a power outage here in NH the other day and upon trying to start the generator the rope broke. It was only the first nine inches that broke off so in that "emergency situation" I was able to use what was left to make it function thanks to your video. Of course after getting it up and running the power company got the electricity back up and running. But I'm forever grateful for the valuable knowledge on how to do that simple repair for the rest of my life. Thanks again!

Will 550 cord work?

Probably, as long as it is the proper size... Just make sure you cut it off your wife's parachute and not yours!!!!

Dude, I've been working in the yard all day, in the hot sun. Just had a nice cold beer, trying to figure out if I bring my mower into the repair shop or.... do I try and fix this myself... I"m not even sure if my model is similar to the ones you showed, but I'm just about to open her up. find out and fix it myself !!! Hope my like and comment helped you out! Great video, thank you!

Thanks Bro. Have an old G100 Honda 2.2 and was having no luck replacing my broken pull start. Mac's Lawnmower wanted $35. I thought uh, no. Took it apart, learned how to rewind the spring, and now, I know how to re-spool the line properly. So Solly Mac......
