Folks: I have a Homelite Mighty Lite 26ss (UT21546). Despite a long time of uneventful use, now the starter rope will not retract. When I separated the engine assembly from the starter mechanism, it retracts just fine. Nothing appears to be broken. The two springs are engaged. But when I reassemble the unit, it will not retract. Any ideas please?
