re: Pull start recoil for pressure washer

Option number 1 would have been to just replace the rope. Not surprising there was no part number for the rope, because you can get some at any hardware store and should not have to order it from the OEM. Sure you could replace the whole recoil starter if the rope breaks, but it is certainly not necessary much less the only option.

You seem like you know about as much about small engines as I do, so I'm not sure why you are shiting on it so much. If you replace the rope it needs to be somewhat in spec with the right diameter, the right length, and then the hastle of making sure its put on there properly.

Or for $15 you can replace the entire thing and have new springs and it back to as new condition. I really don't understand the knock on this, its not like I told the OP to throw a $50 or $100 part on there.

ETA: FWIW when mine broke I just googled a new cord and the recoil pack is what came up. So it seemed like this is fairly routine.
