How do I thread in a new pull cord?

Take it to a mower mechanic. If you know what to do pull cords are quite simple and only takes 10 minutes, so it is quite cheap to get done. Pull cords I have done in the past simply needed the knot to be undone. Cord replced and about three turns of pretension put on the spring. You need to ensure that you get the correct length and diameter cord.
