How To Replace Rewind Starter Rope?

Cub cadet manufactures a line of split boom string trimmers; the lower part of the drive shaft separates so that you can quickly turn the tool into a brush cutter or edger. When Cub Cadet added this multifunctionality to its trimmers, it began locating the start cord between the drive shaft and the engine flywheel. When you have to replace the cord, you need to remove the drive shaft, which isn't a difficult task. Earlier 4-cycle Cub Cadet models feature a starter assembly that is attached to the side of the engine housing opposite the muffler.

1

Disable the trimmer by pulling off the spark plug wire. Set it down on a level surface. If it's a split boom trimmer, disengage the lower part of the drive shaft by loosening the fastening nut and pulling it off. This makes the rest of the procedure easier.

2

Unscrew the four screws holding the drive shaft to the engine with a screwdriver and pull the drive shaft away. Turn the drive shaft around to access the starter mechanism -- it is just inside the drive shaft. If you have an older 4-cycle model, unscrew the starter assembly from the side of the engine. You don't need to remove the drive shaft.

3

Pull out the old cord, using needle-nose pliers, if necessary, to unhook the knot from inside the pulley. Clean out the inside of the starter assembly with a rag.

4

Prepare a new length of starter cord with the same diameter as the old one by melting the end with a lighter and rolling the tip in your fingers while it's still warm. This makes it easier to thread through the holes on the starter assembly.

5

Wind the starter pulley two full revolutions clockwise, and line up the holes on the housing cover and the pulley hub. Feed the cord through both holes and tie a knot in the end. Slide the starter grip onto the other end of the rope and tie a knot in that end to hold it.

6

Hold the rope vertically against the pulley, and use the rope to wind the pulley through five or six more clockwise revolutions. Keeping tension on the rope, allow the pulley to slowly unwind, wrapping the rope around itself, until the starter grip is held against the starter housing by the tension in the spring.

7

Replace the starter back onto the trimmer and reassemble the drive shaft, if you took it apart. Reconnect the spark plug wire before you use the trimmer.
