The Starting Pull Cord on the Husqvarna Lawnmower Model 147S broke while starting it,how do I repair/replace it? (Lawn mowers do not appear in any catagory?)
There will be a piece of casing that holds the starter mechanism in.
Usually held by 4 screws (probably torx screws unless it's an old
machine).
Undo these screws and you will find the cord carrier inside.
Observe how the starter dogs are located, and how it all goes together.
You may be able to remove & replace the cord without taking the carrier off the casing, but it is probably easier if you do.
Then you simply remove the old cord, thread a new cord through the hole & tie it. Reassemble the carrier onto the casing. Thread the cord out of the casing & through the handle, tie that end.
Then wind the cord around the cord carrier until there is a slight tension on the spring.
Screw the casing back on the mower and you're away.

my husqvarna royal 48 has same problem. My dog chewed through the cord and now I need to replace it, looks like the top of the mower where the cord comes through is actually riveted to the machine so I can't take it off to replace the cord
