Question -
My new Honda lawnmower stopped today because I failed to empty the bag in time before the mower clogged with grass clippings.  After I cleared it out, the pull cord seemed stuck and would not pull out.  The cord pulls out a couple of inches but will not engage to enable me to start the lawmower.  Can you help?

Answer -
 Hello Elizabeth:

 Send me the Model Numbers Off of the Mower and Off of the Engine, Please. I Require these to Determine the Type of Starter System on your Mower. Thanks.

 Respectfully

 John

Answer
 Hello Elizabeth:

 Remove the Spark Plug.  Remove the Starter assembly. Can you Pull the Starter Rope out? If yes, then Put on a Pair of Work Gloves and Turn the Blade if you can. Does it turn? Dont Forget; You need someone to Hold the Engine Brake/Shut Down Lever for you or Tie it In Position. Hope this Helps. Let me know what happens, Please.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully
