Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Honda HR 214 Push Mower, honda hr, push mower

Question
John,

Hey there I have a Honda HR 214 Push Mower. I had to replace the rope start and when I go to install it on the lawn mower it won't start. I can't figure out what is wrong with it. When I pull the rope it comes out and goes back in but it's obviously not catching on what it is suppose to be catching on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Answer
If you had to replace the whole pull start assy. it might not be for that model.  When you pull the rope, two dawgs pop out and engage the starter cup, so if that is not happening, then something is wrong.
Let me know what you replaced it with, etc..
