How to fix a pull start on a honda fourwheller?

i have a 90cc honda fourwheller that has a pull start but the string got pulled in half and now the string is half inside of the pull coil part and half out untied and stuff. how would i reconnect that so it will fit through the whole for the string but be able to ride it still?How to fix a pull start on a honda fourwheller?well, im not getting a real good idea of your situation, but im going to take a good guess at it and hope i get it right.

I believer what you are saying is that the rope broke and then the recoil pulled the rope in where you cant grab it. If this is the case, I can help. If you havent already done so, remove the recoil unit(where the rope comes from) from the engine.Depending on how long the rope still is you may be able to reuse it, but I would replace it.If it broke once, its on its way out already. I will describe the process of installing a new rope.You can get a new one wherever small engine parts are sold, at a dealer(but it'll cost you more there)or even your local hardware store.I'm not sure how long yours needs to be, but you can probably get a good idea from the old one.

On the side of the recoil that faces the engine normally, you should see the end of the rope sticking through and tied in a knot.remove this one by pulling on it. Now wind the recoil 5-8 times, or until it feels like there is a fair amount of tension on it, in whatever direction will make it recoil and pull the rope back in. Once wound, either have someone else hold it there or clamp it in place. Now put the end of the new rope through the hole that the other rope came out of and feed it out the hole that leaves the recoil. Tie an good knot in the end so it doesnt pull completely through, then install the pull handle on the end outside of the recoil. Now let the recoil slowly wind up.If you do it too quickly you could hurt yourself. If it winds enough to pull the handle back down to the recoil, install on the motor and enjoy. If not, you will have to wind it a few more times.

If you have a problem threading the rope through the holes, burn the end with a lighter.the loose threads will melt together and make it easier. Needle nose pliers will be a great help as well.
