A gasoline-powered string trimmer has cords on both sides. Most people ... In order to troubleshoot and fix a stuck cord, you have to remove the starter housing. ... Swivel each plate until it locks into position and then tighten the screw to hold it.
you might have you coil set to close to the flywheel and the coil is not letting the flywheel spin like it is suposto sotheir for you string id to tin\ght when you hace the hood on so reagap the coil and sett it a little farther back from the flywheel by not to far back
The pull string is probably tangled up. There are usually vents which enable you to see into the machines pull string assembly. Loosen the fasteners and pull off the cover exposing the pull string. You can unwind and untangle and then it should recoil perfectly. If that does not work continue to dismantle the pull string assembly because you probably have a broken starter pawl which is located on the back of the pull string assembly.
Try spraying WD 40 into the pull string housing and on the string as well, the clutches may have gotten a bit seized up from the elements of dampness etc.
If it seems like it is not pulling at all...you may have a seized engine that happens over time or happens due to the wrong gas/oil mixture...shoukd be 40:1 as a rule.
there should be three or four screws to the top of the mower where the string goes, after purchasing new pull string make sure you wind the spring when you re string, so that when you put the cover back on it will be spring loaded and in proper working condition
Sounds like one of the loops is over the one being fed out. Does that make sense? I hope so. If one of the windings of string is over another, it makes it hard to unwind. Maybe if you were to put on a glove and really pull on the string, it would start to unwind. Other than that, pull the head and check the string. Good luck...Lee
Unscrew the 3 or 4 screws on the outside of the plate that is part of the pull string housing, there are 2 centrifugal pegs that are sticking due to trimmings getting in that area. Inspect, and clean the pegs that fly out when you pull the string. Do not oil (that will only attract more junk later), make sure they are free, and come out when you pull the string. And your problem will be solved.
