Great straightforward and clear instructions. We have been without power for three days and the cord broke last night. Wonderful blessing to have the generator running again this morning.
I live in Panama. Its about 10 pm. Its rainy season. Power is knocked out by a storm. Pull cord on my generator broke on the first pull. What a lousy night! The next day I watched your video. FANTASTIC! Fixed it minutes thanks to you. Now I'm ready for the next black-out. Thank you!
26th Dec 2021 Lagos, Nigeria. You've just saved our boxing day celebrations. Tried for about an hour to fix the generator but your video helped me tremendously and I was able to fix it in less than 4mins. Kudos!
Not having a father in my life I've looked to TH-cam to fix a lot of stuff. Now its time to fix my generator and you sir have stepped to the plate to show me what I need to do
This just happened to me today at work, we're working on a house off the grid and our generator pull cord broke, we needed heat in the house and didn't have a new pull cord so took the cover off and wrapped the broken rope around the pulley and spun it and got it going, went to Lowe's tonight and bought two new pull cords and tomorrow morning will reassemble it and you really made it simple and I shouldn't have any problems now. Thank you very much and I will remember this tomorrow morning.
I've been afraid to try to replace starter cords after trying a long time ago and failing. This video was a huge help and I was able to follow it and get my Kawasaki generator fixed just in time for a rare ice storm here! Thank you!
When we were testing pulling the rope before we reinstalled the recoil assembly it looked like the rope we had was not stiff enough and not going to work without getting tangled up. Once we put it vertically onto the generator though it worked just fine. Just wanted to leave a note about this in case anyone else thinks they got the wrong kind of rope. We used a basic standard "5" rope from Walmart that can be used for anything. Thanks for this video. It was a life saver!
You saved me buddy!! I'm getting ready for Hurricane Milton here in Florida and my cord snapped as I was firing it up. I cannot thank you enough for the DIY video!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! What a great public service creating and posting this video was. High winds and power outages are predicted in my area today and, wouldn't you know it, when trying to start up my generator a couple of weeks ago, the cord broke. Now the generator is back up and running, thanks to this video, and I have peace of mind.
Sir I am currently surviving the aftermath of hurricane Ida and last night I went to pull my generator and I had this issue. Thanks to your very detailed video I was able to fix the generator in 30 minutes and my mom now can have her morning cup of coffee! Bless your heart and soul and I pray that you win the lottery!
I'm 70, female and a tiny gal..your video was just what I needed....thank you SO much! A big hug to you from Colorado! I think mice got our cord or just useage, but whatever, you did the trick. :)
Just thought I'd let you know that you made a difference here in Puerto Rico today. As one of the citizens that hasn't had electricity for 89 days since the hurricane, it was a matter of time before the pull cord would give out since I'm not the only person in my home that turns on the generator. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to solve my problem. Thank you very much for taking the time to make such an easy to follow video. I've subscribed to your channel in the hopes you keep going
Thanks for the tutorial! Generator pull rope broke and we needed it going due to the ice that just hit Arkansas a couple of days ago. Much appreciated!
Thank-you for this helpful video - used this technique on my snowblower today and it's up an running again. Couple of notes: 1) I sourced 5mm rope from the local Dollar store; 2) I can't stress enough your point about lubrication! It made for one-pull starts and a super smooth recoil; and 3) I found my snowblower required 6 turns to properly tension the spring, unlike the generator's 4 (others might want to take note that you will need to do it a couple of times to find the right sweet spot for your engine type).
Thank you for the "getting to the point video". No pictures of your dog or your kids or... Wish everyone would take this approach. Easy to follow instructions with good video. Cheers,
I spent several minutes fixing my generator broken cord last week, I got tired and left it until the next day. However i watched this video before going back to it and I fixed in less than 3 minutes. Thank you for uploading the educative material.
The video is helpful even after 8 years, I have been waiting for the mechanic to fix the starting rope, but finally did it by myself following the video.
Spot on just finished fixing mine Was puting new carbuerator and rope came out while trying, i didnt know how to fix the rope this video saved me big time. Otherwise have to listen father scolding hehehehehe. Thanks man a lot of thanks.
Thanks so much for your video. We had a big snow, power out... Doing the hard start, the rope came out from the wheel and wrapped around the post. following your video made the whole difficult situation, much easier... thanks again.
Thanks Donny! This video really save me bootee. After the big storm the power went out. Fished out the generator which has sat neglected for a few years. Very much like the one in the video. Pulled the starter cord and ARGHH, wango - it broke! I knew there was a procedure for changing it, but had forgotten the details. I also knew that if you started messing around too much, you might end up with a bigger problem - as in springs flying through the air and little clips going who knows where... Watched your excellent video X2. "Tis easy when you know how." You didactic style is excellent. Clear and straight forward - no extra BS or attitude. No matching rope handy and the roads are closed. Made do with a length of para cord. We be up and running!
Great video, short and to the point. A big help. I will say ropes break because they get old not because people keep pulling on them. but thank you for making the video
AWESOME!! So appreciate how clear you are. You jump right in with no nonsense! Bravo! Now I will give it a shot on My DeWalt generator . Thank you again!
Another superb video by donyboy73. Why do I bother watching other videos on the same subject as Don produces the absolute best instructional videos for small engines On TH-cam.
Thank you so much for taking the time to show this. I just picked up a 20yr. old generator, and guess what it needs. lol Not sure what else it needs but the pull cord is the first thing. Thanks again. Peace, Reese
Thanks for posting this video, thanks for the Eng This video saved us You will lose much money and will do a great effort to transfer electrical generators to the workshop 40 km and rental of means of transport But after I saw this TH-cam and understand and know how to install rope recoil, understood the lesson You and accomplished the task by myself without anyone's help Yasser Alwan Aden-Yemen
Well, what can I say but you Are a Legend. You just taught me how to fix my generator in a remote area in Queensland Australia. THANK YOU very much. Have a fabulous Christmas. Rensina
Tomorrow I’m gonna replace my starter, it’s been a big challenge for me until this moment. I’m nervous but I trust this video will help me. Good luck for me. 🤚
Thank you for the video! My husband has only one original equipment hand now, and his prosthetics aren't good for these types of smaller repairs so tasks like this sometimes fall to me. Your video made this quite easy for me to do.
this was very helpful thanks. the pull cord broke on my dads old two stroke suzuki engine on a lawnmower. and i watched this a few weeks back and i remembered the steps and proceeded to do it on my dads mower. thanks!
Your video is awesome! I watch a different one last year and that generator still isn't working! But watching yours I know darn well this generator will work! I have Faith in how you have done your video!!! Thank you keep up on other videos if you make them! Thanks again
Sooo what braught me to this video pause for a second, I just want to say how impressed I am, and how-die hard, and easy to fix, briggs and straton engines are. I never really messed around with small engines (like lawn mowers and weed whackers and all that) until about 2 or so years ago. Till a 5yr+ old mower of ours, that has been beat to death, left in the rain, sleet, cold weather, been flipped over, thrown, dropped in adn left in a small stream or muck and mud, never having been serviced, nor an oil change, or spark plug change, or air filter change ect..... was a Toro Self Propelled front wheel drive push mower, the thing was abused worse than the kids who went to epstines island straight from a North Korean Child Prison Labor camp, ( I know I know ban analogy, just trying to show the ammount of abuse and neglect this mower has had), anyways one day I went to mow my steep hill of a yard whre the grass was almost as tall as my house, I mean people have been lost and reported missing in my yard at this point in time, and the yard isnt even that big of a square footage of a yard, so I went to mow it one day, and the mower woudlnt start, mind you didnt have the moneyh at the moment to go buy a new mower at that particular point in time, sooo i decided to mess with the mower to see if i cant get it running, started with the quick things, took the air filter out and blew it out with my air compressor and clean it up as much as i could, checked the oil and did a quick oil change on it using some oil i had left over from a oil change on a car (knowing that the mower could use the equivilant of 5w20 or 5w10 and be ok long as it not just that, and for the heck of it tossed in some lucus oil additive tried starting it, to no avail, I then checked the gas making sure it had enouigh in it and if it was still good enough but added a bit of dry gas that I had laying arouind, as well as some stabul (we always had both on hand cause of the motorcycles we were constantly storing on the off season for people), still didnt start but getting closer, I then took the spark plug out of it and it was sooo caroded I probably shoudl have went right down and baught a new one as well as chanign out the wire on the mower that connects to it, but for the sake of time, transportation and finances I just sprayed some electrical connections cleaner on it, as well as some sensor cleaner and sanded it down a bit with a file then a fine grit piece of sand paper, I also clenaed up the contact for the wire and the same for the other end of it where it connects making sure there was a solid connection, still. nothing but again getting better, I then decided maybe its got a clogged line somedwhere, sooo had a buddy of mine pull start it while i sprayed carb cleaner or starting fluid into the intake, and it would start up run then quickly die out, I said ok well that aint no good but least we know its not frozen up, thus telling me its not getting the fuel that it needed, soooo I pulled the lines off one end to make sure fuel was flowing through freely, fouind it was, until I got to the one that connects from carb to engine, sooooo I pulled the carb, (and here is where and why I love briggs and stratons) literally took me a total of 5 minutes to pull the carb, clean it all up all the lil ports and everything inside it, the bowl , I mean it had soooo mcuh varish and tarnish inside it i didnt think it was ever going to work again but carb cleaner and some fine grit sand paper and using the air compressor cleaned it up as much as i could, popped it back on, pull started it up and VAROOOM black smoke everywhere like it just blew out all the build up and shit that was sitting in it from all those years of abuse and neglect (I mean im sure the can of seafome i put in it in the gas helped a ton too), but the thing came right back to life like it was brand new, sooo i shut it down took the blade off it and grinded it down to a fine edge, and lemme tell ya thing ate through that tall ass grass faster than a wood chipper, with NO hesitation or stalling out...... anywyas that is why I absolutly love briggs n stratton engines, and I absolutly swear by them, but what braught me here today, is trying to figure out the pull start mechenism on a briggs n stratton generator engine, and why its not winding back up like it should after changing the cord.
Thank you. This really helped me today. Sadly after starting up the generator it started with an unfamiliar sound and then stopped. I'll have to eventually go to the workshop. Thanks anyway, I learnt something new from you.
Watch my video on how to fix a limp pull cord here;

Lagos, Nigeria.
You've just saved our boxing day celebrations.
Tried for about an hour to fix the generator but your video helped me tremendously and I was able to fix it in less than 4mins.
Kudos!
Met this video 11 years counting.. Thank you very much.. saved me money today..
Same here. I had been calling the mechanic but he decided not to show for over 4 days. I later decided to use TH-cam, glad I did
Thanks!
Thanks for your support!
@@donyboy73 thank you for helping me when I needed it. Saved me to run air conditioning for baby on sailboat.
Here I am again after using the wrong coord material, your guide is yet again saving my butt.
Not having a father in my life I've looked to TH-cam to fix a lot of stuff. Now its time to fix my generator and you sir have stepped to the plate to show me what I need to do

Abi oo
About to be 7 years tomorrow lol. Glad I found this.
Donyboy is the man! Heck yeah!🤟🏅

Thank you. I fixed my generator cord tonight with the help of your video
Generator pull cord broke right after Hurricane Debby. Today power washer pull cord broke. This channel is the best. Thank you!!
8 years later and it's still saving people's money... Thanks men

Thanks for the tutorial! Generator pull rope broke and we needed it going due to the ice that just hit Arkansas a couple of days ago. Much appreciated!
Thank you. This generator is costing me a small fortune.
Your explanation will knock this down some.
Thanks for sharing.

10 years later and I just fixed my generator cord thanks to u 🙏
Wow.... Thanks so much. Can't believe a 3years old video is what bailed me today. The 4times anticlockwise rotation is the trick.
434 people apparently cannot follow the most basic and very clear instructions. Solid vid !
Thank you for the "getting to the point video". No pictures of your dog or your kids or...
Wish everyone would take this approach. Easy to follow instructions with good video.
Cheers,
This video just helped me ...
I fixed my generator rope starter myself I'm in school I have no dime with me..
Thank you so much
8 years later and still saving lives.
Every description inch perfect
Thank you.
Thanks for making this video. My pull cord broke today. Now I know the exact way to replace it. Great tip on the lubricant.
Thank you so much Sir.
Just fixed my generator rope by myself by going through your video. God bless you!
Thanks it helps... A seventy three year old can still fix things, a restored Y2K gen. 24 years young for about 60 bucks !
You, sir, deserve a medal. I have two young children and this excellent video saved the day. Thank you...
thanks lol
I spent several minutes fixing my generator broken cord last week, I got tired and left it until the next day. However i watched this video before going back to it and I fixed in less than 3 minutes. Thank you for uploading the educative material.
You saved my life this morning brother, thank you man👍
Just want you to know that your video saved me so much time and money. I used paracord as the replacement btw and it works great
9 years later and I just did this to my champion . Used 550 cord, see how long it lasts. Thank you so very much sir.
The section on tensioning up the pull spring on a generator pull cord in the pull cord replacement video was a life saver - thank ya much
The video is helpful even after 8 years, I have been waiting for the mechanic to fix the starting rope, but finally did it by myself following the video.
Just stumbled upon this greatness today. My rope cut yesterday and I had to get it done because the mechanics not around.
August 2021 you saved the day. Fixed my generator for $5. We ready for hurricane henri.
Spot on just finished fixing mine
Was puting new carbuerator and rope came out while trying, i didnt know how to fix the rope this video saved me big time. Otherwise have to listen father scolding hehehehehe.
Thanks man a lot of thanks.
Still saving time, money and lives in 2022. Thank you, from a grateful noob.👩🔧
Thanks a whole lot from Nigeria.

I quit trying to repair/replace starter ropes 50 or more years ago. Your video made it look easy and it was. Thank you very much.
Thanks for making this video! My pull cord broke on my pressure washer and I would've never figured out how to fix it.
6 years later and it still is spot on and easy! Thank you 😅
Another superb video by donyboy73. Why do I bother watching other videos on the same subject as Don produces the absolute best instructional videos for small engines On TH-cam.
Thank you so much for taking the time to show this. I just picked up a 20yr. old generator, and guess what it needs. lol Not sure what else it needs but the pull cord is the first thing. Thanks again. Peace, Reese
Short term memory has me coming back to this video. Thank you sir
Thanks ! Just fixed my pull cord on my generator that snapped in two.This video helped alot.
Wow! I watched your video and had my generator back up in 5 minutes. Thank you!
Cheers pal. Just fixed mine using this. Saved me a few much need quid. God bless you mate
I was clueless how to fix it and I borrowed it from my brother in law. Now I don't have to return it to him broken. Thanks for your time sir.

10 years later and this video is still useful 👌 simple and straightforward.
Pulled the cord out while in the middle of the boonies... this vid helped out big time
Thanks for posting this video, thanks for the Eng
This video saved us
You will lose much money and will do a great effort to transfer electrical generators to the workshop 40 km and rental of means of transport
But after I saw this TH-cam and understand and know how to install rope recoil, understood the lesson
You and accomplished the task by myself without anyone's help

but what braught me here today, is trying to figure out the pull start mechenism on a briggs n stratton generator engine, and why its not winding back up like it should after changing the cord.
If i knew of this video years back man i learn something new right here thank you.
I love this video because it was straight to the point, very well explained.
Although a simple repair, I find that its always nice to reference the right way before overlooking something. Your video was very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you. This really helped me today.
Sadly after starting up the generator it started with an unfamiliar sound and then stopped. I'll have to eventually go to the workshop.
Thanks anyway, I learnt something new from you.
Took a couple tries but this video helped make sure I got it right
This video was really helpful; I got my generator working again. Thanks!
7 years and this video still kicking thanks man gonna go and fix my generator👍
Woww it is that easy huh ? Lol.been trying to figure this out for 3 hours now and you showed me.10 thumbs up from me keep up the great work
