Sounds like the starter dogs are broken. They are little plastic teeth that engage to turn the engine when you pull the cord. You'll need to replace the whole starter assembly to fix this.

if you can do the work yourself try www.ereplacementparts.com they have just about anything you could need and exploded diagrams of how things go.

how to remove the starter pull cord on a palen 100 weed wacker

sounds like you are trying to remove the drum assembly; try a torx driver or a phillips screwdriver. There is a srew that hold that drum on and the bolt is in that black hole.

You have to take the unit apart. Seperate the shaft from the engine. Then take the engine off the back side. This will allow access to the starter spool, where the rope goes. If you get that far, be careful when you wind the spring. Good luck...Lee

Possible broken return spring or excess junk in starter mechanism. Remove starter assembly to check out.

to fix starter rope first you must wind spring and place back in housing. just grab spring by middle and wind ,you will have to get it smaller than housing hole. One end should hook to a tab at housing rest of it sets inside itself. once set in housing dont let go, insert rope housing over top & screw in. rope housing should have some return spring to it when pulled. if rope is not tight on return pull simply add one winding to spool. hope it helps!
