Electric mowers do not have pull cords.
i would look on you tube for a instructional video, it's not very diffecult but hard to explain in words
If the mower has an electric starter, the gear on the starter is worn. Replacement is not hard and the part (a plastic gear) is relatively inexpensive.
Bent blade and/or motor shaf is the simple and logical answer.
do you feel something like a hard cord
Bob, this is not an answer to your guestion but we are thinking of buying an Earthwise 20 in. cordless mower, model 60120. How do you like yours?
The "sjtw-a" designation on an electric extension cord indicates the type of insulation material used for the cord. In this case, "sjtw" stands for hard service cord that can withstand higher temperatures and outdoor use (S for service, J for junior service, T for thermoplastic insulation, and W for weather/water resistance), while the "A" typically refers to the cord being approved for use in North America.
It depends on if you bought a pull start mower or a power mower. The pull start mower will have a handle you have to pull hard to start it. The power mower should have a button that simply turns it on. Make sure there is gas in the pull start mower.
For for sale? Hard hard to to say say.

It won't be hard at all, you only need to plug in the power cord and phone cord.
Frankly, it is pretty easy - but hard to believe you can't just replace the pull cord! You have to spend about $45 (w/ shipping) instead on: John Deere Recoil Starter Assembly - LG497680
Hard to explain.. youtube has instructional videos.... daividsfarm has mower repair vids along with other users
