Absolutely PERFECT how to - instructional video. Perhaps the best I've ever seen. Perfect camera angle, no nonsense and to the point instructions. My mother could perform this repair by following this video. Fantastic job!
Greetings from Ireland. Starter cord went on my 15 yr old B&S. Not worth putting it in for a repair. No way I'd have figured out what to do without seeing your tutorial. With new spark plug, started second time. Thanks a mill.
Excellent video! I have the same model Troy-Bilt and this afternoon I replaced the fuel line and thus had to take the tank off and the cover and in the process lowered the pull cord. Then when it came time to attach the pull cord to the handle, I could only pull a short distance and it would lock! I was able to eventually pull it out and the mower started, but what caused it to lock up like that? I am going to change the cord in the near future, but is there something else wrong? Thanks!
@smallengineshop - Thanks for the reply. I was hoping to avoid the same thing from happening again! I initially had the mower up on a bench, then when I lowered it, I was able to coax the cord out. In both cases, I had the lock bar depressed, so that is not the culprit and it was a hard stop, not compression related tension. I will hold off on replacing the cord - plus I need to purchase the cord anyway. Thanks again!
Broke my mower pull cord an hour ago. A trip to True Value and $1.15 later & I'm back in business thanks to your EXCELLANT video. I'm handy at fixing things but don't like to just start removing parts, and your bolt-by-bolt instructions were perfect! A word of CAUTION to others- if your mower is filthy (like mine) once you've removed the gas tank assy., CLEAN around the oil fill tube BEFORE you remove it or you'll drop crap into your engine oil. Thanks, smallengineshop for the GREAT video!
thanks you...I watched this and went and replaced mine! mower been sitting for a mnth waiting to get fixed....thank you for showing me how easy it actually was! its a little hard to pull but im gonna go shorten in per your advice and see if that makes a difference!!!! the worse part is trying to loosen the rusty bolts!

@kauaiphotography I don't know what is wrong without seeing it. Try and reproduce the problem and look for the part(s) that is causing the binding.
