This isn't about a lawn mower but it's a small engine. I recently broke my starter rope, I rewound the spring and replaced the rope no proplem. The problem is when I put the spring housing back on with all the screws installed and pull the rope it doesn't rewind. Now if I just hold it in place without the screws it rewinds fine. Any ideas, I'm stumped.

Thanks

inspect all parts for being warped, housing, spool, etc.

Mark thanks for the response, the problem was after I looked at the piece of rope that I took out. I didn't install the pull rope correctly, I anchored the rope and put it through the pully, when I should of taken one wrap around the pully and then go through it, everything is fine now. Thanks again
