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.
go to home depo and buy some
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.
To replace the pull rope on a Snapper S31SNGBC, first, remove the recoil starter cover by unscrewing the screws holding it in place. Once the cover is off, take out the old rope and the spool, then thread the new rope through the hole in the spool and tie a knot. Wind the new rope around the spool in the correct direction, reinsert the spool into the recoil assembly, and reattach the cover. Finally, ensure the rope extends and retracts smoothly before testing the starter.
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.
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.
To replace the starter spring on a Homelite trimmer, first, remove the starter assembly by unscrewing the screws that secure it. Carefully take out the old spring, noting how it’s positioned, and then install the new spring in the same orientation. Reassemble the starter by placing the recoil cover back on and tightening the screws securely. Finally, ensure the starter rope is properly wound around the new spring before testing.
To repair the recoil starter on a Polaris 325 Magnum, first remove the recoil starter assembly by unscrewing it from the engine. Inspect the starter rope for frays or breaks, and replace it if necessary. Check the spring mechanism for proper tension and ensure it is not damaged; if it is, you may need to replace the recoil spring. Reassemble the starter, ensuring everything is properly aligned and secured before reinstalling it on the engine.
To start a Stihl MS 187 chainsaw, first ensure the chain brake is engaged. Then, set the ignition switch to the "On" position, pump the primer bulb until fuel is visible, and pull the choke lever to the closed position. Place the chainsaw on the ground, press the throttle trigger, and pull the starter rope until the engine fires. Once it starts, open the choke and allow the engine to warm up before use.
To rewind the recoil starter on a Craftsman rototiller, first, remove the starter cover by unscrewing it. Next, pull the rope out to its full length and then turn the recoil spring clockwise several times to create tension. Once tension is built, insert the rope back into the starter housing, ensuring it's properly aligned in the pulley. Finally, reattach the starter cover and test the recoil by pulling the rope to ensure it retracts smoothly.
