Cord retraction is broken or spring has shifted. Need instruction as to how to disassemble housing to repair.
On the right side of the housing is a cover. In the center is a hex shaped knob. Hold the knob while removing the cover screws. Once the cover is loose release the spring pressure on the knob. Then you can gain access to the rewind assembly. To reinstall, start with 6 rotations of the knob to put the proper stress on the spring.

drill out rivets then re-rivet or use self tapping screws
SOURCE: starter rope won't retract
You have to wind the spring as tight as you can before you put the rope on. Then allow the spring to unwind, pulling the rope onto the spool. Be very careful when you take it apart. Good luck...Lee
Testimonial: "I guess the spring must be broken because no matter which direction I try to rewind it there is a click after one revolution and it doesn't pull the rope in at all."
