Was tilling for about 15 minutes and got a stone lodged in the tines, freed the stone and when I went to pull the cord it recoiled hard and seemed to have locked up. Unable to turn engine over. Checked oil and it is o.k. Did not smoke or make any noises so I doubt the engine seized up.

Just take the cover bolts for the pull cord off. Then see if it works. There are usually two cogs that engage into the shaft of the engine. These cogs push outward when you pull the cord, engaging the shaft of the engine.
take off cap then take out old pull cord once done get a cord long enough some will hanging out when recoil rewinds rope next there is hole in rewind pulley make sure you find it then hard part rewind spring on recoil till it stop hold tight the unwind 2 winds hold on tight next slip cord trough houseing and through pull hole put screw driver threw holes in threw rehousing that will hold in place the pulley not the cord take a lighter heat the cord up this will keep the knot in place grab cord remove screw driver from houseing hold cord tight pull cord until knot is seated next two pulley slowly let reciol wind rope in until it stops should be cord hanging out grab hiold of cord next to recoil hole pull out for two pulley revolution hold there install handle on rope tie knot heat knot with lighter your done cut off excess rope reinstall cap and completey down let me no if you have problem i will help im the red neck i like helping people
remove recoil cut off old rope take new rope burn end till pointy push threw recoil and into hole in pulley tie knot on pully side add handle pull string between pully and outer shell rotate pully counterclockwise 4 times with rope you puled from out in between pull access back out of the housing till tight release or go to a shop they normally only charge ten bucks
There is a spring inside the pull cord housing that makes the cord come back in, it probably undid itself, remove the housing cover and rope assembly and you will see the spring, you need to retighten it and place everything back. hope this helps
