I have a push mower with a weird problem. I was using my mower just fine this afternoon. When I went to restart my mower I noticed this little metal clamp on my pull cord preventing my cord to spring back into the housing. Can I fix this by just clipping off the little metal clamp. The other puzzling problem is how did this happen in the first place and where did this little piece of metal come from. Can anyone help please?

There is nothing online saying how to repair this, so I'll guess.
The little washer will fit anyone of those metal spindles. It allows something to spin without binding in the black housing.My guess is the tall one or the one to the left.
The knot on the end of the string should fit into a slot on that tall spindle and the string should sit between those indentations.
The should be tension on the tall roller, so you will need to pre-tension it. You can pull the plastic string guide grommet up to do it. Then push the grommet back in. Put the housing back on top.
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
This works best with two people. Remove cover and pull cord will be inside cover. If your handle on pull cord is attatched to a metal ring up on the handle, you will need 8 foot of new pull cord.
With all the old cord removed, wind cord pulley 6 revolunations, now, have someone hold the pulley, while you string the new cord thru pulley and out the cord hole on cover. Be sure to put a knot on the end going thru pulley. Draw cord all the way thru and out of the cover. Attatch the handle and let it rewind. You will have extra cord, this will be used up going from engine up the handle. I hope this helps
hard to mow a lawn pulling the starter cord all the time,lol,,,ok, no spark...you have an engine control bar at top of handle, cable runs from it to engine brake, and this is also engine kill switch. sounds like this cable has stretched. this cable controls engine brake and also kills the spark. you have two problems, and this controls both.
when the rope broke you first must rewind sring and load tension on it first then install spring while it is underload clamp with vise grips until string is fed through then release slowly allowing string to recoil
you must wind the spring up by hand first clamp the sping mecanism down with visegrips or clamp and then feed string trough and tie off. release clamp and string will feed back in
The metal clamp on the cord is, to prevent the cord from going all the way in should it break. There should be a place on the handle of the mower for the cord to go through instead of having to pull from the mower you can pull the rope from the handle
