The pull-starter system on a Poulan chain saw includes a pull-starter pulley, rope and recoil spring that are prone to wear and breakage. The pull starter is nothing more than a thin rope that rubs against the eyelet with each pull. That action slowly wears away the rope, eventually leading to a frayed or broken rope. A broken pull starter must be replaced, which is a good opportunity to inspect the chain saw's other moving parts for breaks and excessive wear. Replace worn or broken parts with new units to restore your Poulan chain saw to like-new condition and proper pull-starter operation.

How do I replace starter cord on lawn mower? Remove the engine starter cover or blower housing which contains the starter rope. Check to see if the spring is still good then just rewind the starter rope pulley to re-tension the spring. Insert the replacement rope into pulley as originally routed and let the spring wind the rope back into pulley. Then replace the starter handle. Make sure you keep tension on the starter pulley while the rope is winding.

Why does your lawnmower cut the grass when pulling backwards but does not cut when pushing forward?
The starter rope is the one used to start many of the mechanical start walk behind Murray mowers. The procedure is to pull the starter rope with sufficient force which will start the mower engine. Given the rough usage of this rope, eventually, the rope will wear away and break. A shorter rope will not impart the necessary torque to kick start the engine. The only solution is to replace the starter rope. While this may seem quite complicated, it is one of the simplest things to do. With a proper wrench and starter rope, you can do it at home.
I pulled the cord on my snapper riding lawnmower and the cord broke. How do I replace it?
You have to buy a new rope, remove the cover from the engine that contains the manual rope starter. There is a spring inside that can fly out and injure you if you do not know what you are doing. My suggestion is that you take the mower or the cover to a lawn mower shop and let them replace the rope if you are not comfortable tackling this yourself. It can be tricky to install the new rope and wind the spring just right.
How do you replace the starter rope on a craftsman weedwacker weedeater?
Remove the starter from the mower. If the broken cord is hanging out of the hole in the starter, it's easy: Slowly pull it out it's full length. Notice the rotating pulley that the cord is wound on. When it's fully extended, use something like a nail to lock the pulley into position. Clip off the inside knot at the rope stop hole, and pull the old rope out, then thread the new rope (same diameter) into the opening, into the pulley, and out the rope stop hole in the pulley where you clipped off the old knot. Tie a new, tight, overhand knot in that end. Hold the rope, remove the nail, and slowly let the spring wind the new rope on, leave several feet of rope hanging out of the rope hole, and cut it to length only after you've reinstalled the handle. Now, if the rope broke inside the pulley, that's a different story and can be dangerous (there is much spring tension on the coil spring when you disassemble it, even when the rope is inside of it). Might be better to have a pro do that.
How do you replace starter chord?
the exact procedure depends on the engine, but you need to open up the recoil unit (while wearing eye and face protection) and, without letting the spring and spool fly out, wind the spring backwards, tie a new rope to the spool, and let the spring unwind, winding up the rope
What is a component of a rope rewind starter system?
So what are the following choices?Upon pulling the rope, one or more wings (typically 3 ) extend out and into holes on a cup, mount on the crankshaft, turning the motor. When you release the rope, the wings retract
Why does the starter rope on a 5 hp Briggs and Stratton not retract on the engine but works fine off it?
The starter rope does not work maybe because the spring may be weak or the ball- bearings in the starter clutch may be jammed and won't let it turn back. If the ball-bearing arn't jammed it could be that the starter clutch is binding on the casing of the recoil if you hit the end of the shaft it may have spread the shaft so it is binding the recoil clutch .
Pull rope will not pull how do you fix that?
It depends on the engine type. If it is the older type with a starter clutch, the ball bearings could be froze up in the starter clutch. Just take the flywheel cover off (the thing with the rope on it) and pope the cover off of the starter clutch. Clean the ball bearings and the surfaces and oil it with motor oil and reassemble. The starter rope could be tangled itself. You can remove the flywheel cover and the rope should pull out easily and retract back in easily. If it is still stuck, its tangled in the flywheel cover or the spring that retracts the rope back in is damaged. The newer style engines with the starter clutch that has the arms fly out (the start clutch is part of the flywheel cover instead of part of the engine like on the older style). These ones are harder to prepare and usually it is better to replace them. If you have a salvage yard nearby you can usually find a junked engine you can pull one off of. These small engines are very simple and fun to work on. It could be a great learning experience and I recommend you try to fix it. Many people through good mowers out each year because they don't bother trying to fix simple problems.
How do you replace rope tbe515 edge?
I just replaced mine. There are a lot of screws and requires the blade drive belt to be removed. This unit is a real Kluge. I'd drain the gas tank or better yet remove the tank before you start. You need the operator's manual and some mechanical ability. If you aren't prepared for a painful job, have someone do it. Obtain part# 753-05435. This includes the rope and starter as one piece and precludes you having to thread the rope into the starter.You also may need a new push nut part 753-05260. Save the old rope handle. Take the thing apart using the correct torque wrench starting with the starter housing assembly and working into it until you get to the starter which connects to the flywheel with the pushnut. Once you get here, there will be parts and screws all over the place. Reassemble in reverse order.
