"I went to start my Honda HS35 Snowblower the other day and the recoil cord came untied and the cord came straight out. I think the recoil is fin, but I cannot seem to get the plastics covers off to get at the recoil. The top red plastic cover has four bolts and it should come right off, but I can't get it around where you put the gas in. Is there a way to take the neck off where you put the gas in? If you have any other suggestions it would be appreciated. Thanks"

I believe the main shroud is attached with 5 bolts (the 5th bolt is lower down on the right side - opposite side from the drive belt). To lift the shroud over the fuel neck you need to remove the gas cap then gently remove the rubber gasket from around the neck (either spin it off counter-clockwise or flip over the lip and pull straight up). I also have a question... how to remove the knobs for fuel and on/off? The choke has a set screw that is underneath the collar of the knob, but I cannot see how the other two knobs are held in place.
