How do you replace the pull cord? - Toro Recycler 22" 149cc Personal Pace Lawn Mower w/ Blade Override

Take the top off the engine, the cover. take it to the toro place or where you buy your mower parts. bring everything, like the handle, the old rope etc so they can get the length right. let them look at the spring and the throwout dogs for the flywheel. buy what you need. if they are nice, they will put it on for you. if not, the spring, you will find is about 15 feet long, all wound up. if its unwound, you have to wind it back up. its easier to leave it with them and pick it up later. otherwise you get to assemble it and turn, hold, turn hold etc till its wound. you have to unbend the tabs to get it apart. you have to precut the rope to the right length,attach to the winder pulley, and leave the distance to the loop in the handle. pry off the handle cover and pick out the broken rope. when done reinstall your handle on the new rope, tie it, and reinstall the handle cover. set the engine cover on. fasten it in place, feed the rope up to the loop in the metal mower handle, unbend the loop slightly so the rope slips back in. i find budweiser helps
