The pull-starter system on a Poulan chain saw includes a pull-starter pulley, rope and recoil spring that are prone to wear and breakage. The pull starter is nothing more than a thin rope that rubs against the eyelet with each pull. That action slowly wears away the rope, eventually leading to a frayed or broken rope. A broken pull starter must be replaced, which is a good opportunity to inspect the chain saw's other moving parts for breaks and excessive wear. Replace worn or broken parts with new units to restore your Poulan chain saw to like-new condition and proper pull-starter operation.

It is important to restring your clothesline once the rope starts wearing down. The weight of heavy wet clothing stretches out the rope over time. Make sure you have enough rope to go the entire length of the clothesline, and don't get your fingers caught in the rotaries while threading the line.
How do I replace starter cord on lawn mower? Remove the engine starter cover or blower housing which contains the starter rope. Check to see if the spring is still good then just rewind the starter rope pulley to re-tension the spring. Insert the replacement rope into pulley as originally routed and let the spring wind the rope back into pulley. Then replace the starter handle. Make sure you keep tension on the starter pulley while the rope is winding.
The starter rope is the one used to start many of the mechanical start walk behind Murray mowers. The procedure is to pull the starter rope with sufficient force which will start the mower engine. Given the rough usage of this rope, eventually, the rope will wear away and break. A shorter rope will not impart the necessary torque to kick start the engine. The only solution is to replace the starter rope. While this may seem quite complicated, it is one of the simplest things to do. With a proper wrench and starter rope, you can do it at home.

Remove the starter from the mower. If the broken cord is hanging out of the hole in the starter, it's easy: Slowly pull it out it's full length. Notice the rotating pulley that the cord is wound on. When it's fully extended, use something like a nail to lock the pulley into position. Clip off the inside knot at the rope stop hole, and pull the old rope out, then thread the new rope (same diameter) into the opening, into the pulley, and out the rope stop hole in the pulley where you clipped off the old knot. Tie a new, tight, overhand knot in that end. Hold the rope, remove the nail, and slowly let the spring wind the new rope on, leave several feet of rope hanging out of the rope hole, and cut it to length only after you've reinstalled the handle. Now, if the rope broke inside the pulley, that's a different story and can be dangerous (there is much spring tension on the coil spring when you disassemble it, even when the rope is inside of it). Might be better to have a pro do that.
So what are the following choices?Upon pulling the rope, one or more wings (typically 3 ) extend out and into holes on a cup, mount on the crankshaft, turning the motor. When you release the rope, the wings retract
The starter rope does not work maybe because the spring may be weak or the ball- bearings in the starter clutch may be jammed and won't let it turn back. If the ball-bearing arn't jammed it could be that the starter clutch is binding on the casing of the recoil if you hit the end of the shaft it may have spread the shaft so it is binding the recoil clutch .
