My last pull broke the rope. I want to replace it, but I recall trying it on
a string trimmer before and having the spring fly out, never to be coaxed
into the housing again. Does anyone have any tips for replacement?

It's a standard B&S engine, front tine MTD tiller

Thanks...



You can do it without the spring flying out if you're careful about how
you take it apart and how you "wind it up" and hold it when attaching
the new rope prior to letting it draw the rope in and putting it back
onto the engine.

Do yourself a favor in advance and wear gloves and something to protect
your eyes while doing the job.
