First thing to find out is if the engine will turn over.. Check the oil level in your engine... if you got lots of oil...then ..pull the spark plug out of the engine...if you can turn the augers on the blower by hand then your engine is not seized... So the only thing left to check is the spring that acts as the recoil of the "pull cord". Usually there are screw holding the cord cover on. Note: You didn't mention if the cord was coiled in the machine or dangling out of the machine.... If it is dangling out..then it will be a broken recoil spring...if it is in could still be broken or perhaps just got pulled out of the locking device. Solutions: Take the cover off.(this is the part that the cord goes into)..then take the cord holding portion off the blower...it can removed once you have all the screw/bolts off. Nowd unwind the coil and make sure that the end is attached to the casing...if it isn't check the end of the spring ...it may be broken...it not broken check the casing where the spring end would be anchored/connected to allow it to coil up into. if either is broken than you have found your trouble... If you don't find anything wrong or if your not sure it is connected properly take the whole assembly to a repair shop...they will tell you if it is okay or not..and this should cost your nothing.... Good luck, I hope I was of some assistance to you.
How to replace a broken pull cord on a leaf blower. 1) Remove Hex bolts holding plastic leaf blower housing in place with your hex wrench.you may want to cut the cord with scissors and loosen the bolt or screw securing the rope assemble with hex wrench or screwdriver. 2) Remove spring assembly Carefully. (DO NOT REMOVE THE SPRING ONLY REMOVE THE ASSEMBLY) 3) Remove old cord. Notice the direction the pull cord is wound. This is important in the following step 4) Wind new pull cord in the same direction you removed it, as in step 3, Make sure cord secures in the slot provided on pull and assembly. 5) Replace the pull cord pulley and place over spring.(This is the white plastic spool.) 6) Rotate the pull cord assembly 2 or 3 times in the same direction the cord pulls. (wearing safety goggles and work gloves) Reinsert the center screw by securing in in place with your screwdriver. 7) Insert the leaf blower cord into the end of the handle opening. Secure the handle by tying a knot at the bottom of the new cord. 8) Place the pull cord assembly back onto your blower in its designated area then secure by refastening the 4 hex nuts. 9) Replace the housing cover of blower and refasten the hex nuts.(the housing you removed in step 1.) I hope this was some help to you. Good luck.
Hi, Easy!Remove pull cover complets, do not undo the spring. remove old cord, fit new cord and hand turn disk against the spring. when all cord is wound, repace cover, done! around5 minutes
It may have broken the return spring, or just require re tentioning, remove the starter assembly, try winding the spring up by turning the starter pulley, once you feel more tention on the pulley allow it to pull the cord back in, if you cannot get it to tention, remove the centre screw ( be carfull there is a long spring behind here ) and check the condition of the spring, if broken replace, new springs come in a keeper so they are quite easy to install.
You have a broken recoil spring. Dis-assemble (pull-off) the recoil housing and check for proper dog alingnment, broken spring, or something jammed between recoil sprocket and engine block.
Soundas like the rewind spring is broken. Remove the top housing and see if you can reset the spring by removing the cord, hook up the broken end, rewind the spring with a screw driver...lock it in the tension position and then reinstall the cord.
