Thank you. I'm a 65 year old lady and I fixed my mower thanks to your video. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 😊

Very good step by step instructions and not all over the place and not doing things that don't pertain to replacing the cord

[Mudge]

In the middle of a mowing session and with weather cooling and closing the chord broke at mid-point. I quickly sourced some suitable materiel to change out the remaining part.
Having replaced the chord, my mower had one pull and restarted, however without the pretensioning it all stayed outside the housing. So next job is to complete, as shown, the proper spooling this time under tension! Many thanks.

I'm 10 and I fixed my gokarts cord by myself thanks for the help

I don't normally leave comments on videos like these but this works if you have a mower similar to what he is working on in the video.! I'm About to continue mowing my lawn now after the cord snapped thanks to this video. I thank God for engineering and for the engineers of small and big engines. Thumbs up from me.

I’m 52 and with the help of this video, fixed my lawnmower cord by myself. Seriously, I had no idea how to do this. I was even able to use my existing cord since it broke off at the knot. Thanks for the guidance!

[TomKredo]

This does work. THanks for the video. I melted the knot on both ends with a candle to make sure they didn't untie. You should tie the handle before you rewind the rope so you can skip the temporary knot step.

Shout out to all of those that actually watched the video all the way through to the end before running off to fix your pull starter 😂

May God bless you....thank you for taking the time to do this. My husband of 24 years left and thanks to this I was able to fix my pull cord.

[joellawilson]

I really appreciate your video and will be able to fix mine now! I've never had to do anything like this and feel confident now. I'm a middle-aged woman and can't thank you enough 😊😊😊

Thank you so much!!! Our puppy chewed through the pull cords on both our push mowers. Ordered a spool of replacement cord and your video made it it super clear and easy how to use it. Saved us a ton of money getting them fixed professionally!!!

Wow. Thanks for this video. I changed out the starter line to my lawnmower today. Watched this video and did the job in around 7mins.

[TsquareTalk]

You make it look so easy I'm about ready to find out my rope broke and got sucked in so I'm fixing to try to figure this out today Hopefully it's as easy as it looks. Thank you for posting really helpful I hope.

Thank you for the video. I can tackle this job with confidence now. The only thing I may add: measure the new cord against the old one - and cut off excess, if necessary. I saw this in another similar how-to video. Excess cord might jam up the rewind. Thanks again.

[tiffgriffiths]

Simple video, easy to follow, but extremely helpful, thank you so much, cord changed in four minutes 🤘🏼

[chefblair]

Professionally
Made how to vids like this are so much better than non

[amfam]

I watched two others before finding yours. One overcomplicated the whole process and the other didn't film what he was actually doing 😂.

This video was PERFECT and I am back up and running!

[kenwattanakone]

Your video was quite helpful for me to repair the lawnmower string. Thank you for making it simple and easy to follow the instructions.

[ritchiemathews]

It's clear this video has been beneficial to many including myself. The only update is the handle for the pull cord has slightly changed. It no longer has the pop-out access for the cord. You'll have to use nose pliers or small screwdriver to remove the old cord. Thanks for the vid!!!

Thank you so much for this! 🙏 I really do appreciate it. As a women I didn’t know what to do about that power string busting 😫 as times are hard right now. You saved me a lot of money and by not wasting my time on people who otherwise might’ve made the matters worse. Easy fix 👍
