Best Answer

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 .
