    How to replace B & S engine pull cord?
    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.
