I have rethreaded the pull cord to the engine pull starter pulley, but cannot get the cord to retract back into the pulley after the initial pull. The mechanism cover went back on the engine correctly with the pull mechanism inside the pull cup on the top of the engine.

How do I get spring tension onto the engine pull cord that I replaced?

See the stickly in the begiing of this sectin for info about replacing the cord.

There is an slim chance that the clutch is bad.

I replace the cord and the spring came out, how do I get the spring back into place? Lawn mower
