Hayter 56 Cable Problem

[Hayter56]

My Hayter 56 Lawnmower 2015 today caused me some problems. Initially the cable did not rewind up on starting.

 

I decided to open the top of the mower and recoil the cable. This worked the first time, however the second time the cable did not pull.

 

Can anyone on this forum let me know what the problem is and how can I fix this?

might be the spring is bust usually right at the end where it clips into the housing

Do you mean when you pull it's not turning  or does it not rewind?

Mower/internet will have springs for them if it's that

1. Initially the pull cord did not rewind, when the lawnmower started.

2. Then when I manually rewinded the cable. it started once.

3. The second time that I tried starting the mower,  the cable did not pull out it appeared to be stuck.

 

So far I have worked out that there could be a problem with the coil spring or that the lawnmower is hydrolocked.

 

Does anyone know how to un-hydrolock the mower

Could be you crossed the String when wound it back on spool!

But take spark plug out to unlock but unless your throwing fuel down it's chops by cup full doubt hydrolocked? As leave a while and would be ok and Compression on them is best described as "Adequate"

Take puller off and you can turn engine with a socket and ratchet bar pref with ignition off!

We started one with my Impact driver and socket before when pull start broke
