    Replace pull cord on mower
    My husband has an old Murray/Tecumseh push mower that has "shed" its pull cord. Does anyone know how to replace the cord? He needs specific instructions on how to repair his mower.

    Thanks.

    If you don't feel like sealing with it just take the pull rope off and drop it off at a lawn mower shop. About $15 and a day or so, you'll have a new rope installed.

I have a Murray/Briggs 6.0 engine mower and the pull cord is sticking. It will stop after pulling about 4 inches. Then if I jiggle the pull cord it will extend another 4 inches.

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.

Mower Pull Cord [ 2 Answers ]

Our mower was working fine. One day it stalled and now the cord will only pull out about 4-6 inches. It seems as there is a safety catch stopping the cord from being pulled all the way. There is a "click" when it reaches the 4-6" point. I am holding down the safety bar, but nothing. Any ideas?
