Joel at Earth Tools walks through the replacement of a recoil starter rope on a Honda engine. This procedure works on most small engines. NOTE: If the starter you are working on does not have the “slots” in the housing or pulley to stick a screwdriver through to “lock” the pulley in place, you can usually stick a flat-tip screwdriver in-between the outer edge of the pulley and the inside of the recoil housing, to “wedge” the pulley in place. (might have to bop the screwdriver a bit to wedge it down in there good, so it doesn’t slip out)

Any suggestions for a bcs that is so hard to start that we have ripped the knot off the end of the recoil twice?
Thanks, Joel! After watching another video, I couldn't get the new piece of rope to go through the second hole. The trick I was missing, until I watched your video, was using a little fire to melt the end of the rope. Then it went right through. It also helped to trim the end of the cord into a point just before heating it.
Best Video on this fix,Thank you.
This video is not for me. Your phone kept going off and I thought it was mine so I'm jumping up and down to grab my phone but it was yours and when I finally figured it out I got off of your website.
