Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): pull cord replacement on lawnmower, pulley, lawn mower


Question
Can you tell me what steps are involved in replacing the pull cord on a Tecumseh 6.5 HP Yardworks lawnmower?

Or... is this a job I should leave to a professional.
Thanks!

Check out the above site.
I'd start by winding the pulley first before taking the starter apart.  The starter should be very similar to yours with the exception that you may have a screw instead of a pin.

Basically just wind the pulley and install the rope...it's pretty easy.

Let me know if this helps or if you have any other questions.
