Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Bolens Snowblower, recoil starters, recoil starter

Question
My pull cord came off on my Bolens Snowblower.  I have removed the cover and I see what looks like a shroud (has one nut in the center).  It looks like the pull cord came right out.  How do I attach a new pull cord.  The engine on this snowblower is an HM80 if that helps.

Answer
Hello Robert:

>>I used an HM80-190000 for a Reference.
>>You can View a Breakdown/IPL of this Engine at this Site Addy, http://www.outdoordistributors.com/parts.html and Select the T. Then Select Tecumseh. Then Select Don't have Part Numbers. Then Enter the Model Numbers HM80-??????. Then Select your Model and Download the File for Online Viewing.
>>The Following is a Basic Instruction File for Replacing the Rope in Standard Recoil Starters. Any Input is Appreciated. **If the Rope has Broken and the Spring is Good, then Remove the Blower Housing (metal engine cover and recoil Starter). Remove the Old Rope from the Recoil Pulley. Now Turn the Pulley in the Same Direction that the Pulley would Turn if the Rope was Turning it. Once the Pulley will Turn No More, then Reverse Direction 1 or 2 Turns and Thread the New Rope Through the Hole in the Center of the Pulley and Out the Hole in the Blower Housing. Pull the Rope Through Until it is Tight Against the Pulley. Now Tie a Slip Knot in the Rope to Hold the Pulley in Place While the Handle is Attached to the Rope. Once the Handle is Attached, Release the Slip Knot and the Rope Should Retract Into the Housing. Reassemble the Blower Housing Onto the Engine.**

Good Luck
