A recoil starter on a mower can be difficult to pull due to several factors, including a tight or worn recoil spring, a seized or damaged engine, or excess resistance from a clogged or improperly maintained air filter. Additionally, if the engine is flooded with fuel or has old oil, it can create extra friction, making it harder to start. Regular maintenance, including checking the starter mechanism and engine condition, can help alleviate these issues.
The cord on your Honda lawn mower may not pull if it is tangled, the engine is seized, or the recoil starter is broken.

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.
Remove the spark plug and try to pull start it. With the spark plug out try to manually rotate the blade. If the blade rotates, the mower is not locked up. It is possible there is something wrong with the recoil starter. Sometimes the float in the carburetor gets stuck open and gas will fill the cylinder, this will not allow you to pull the starting rope. With the spark plug removed pull the starting rope hard this will push out any excess fuel in the cylinder. Put the spark plug back in and try to start it.
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.
To turn on a lawn mower, you typically need to locate the ignition switch or pull the starter cord, then push the primer bulb a few times if it has one. Finally, pull the starter cord or turn the ignition switch to start the engine.
