How do you replace the starter rope on a Model #316.292710 4 cycle cultivator/edger?

I could not pry the assembly apart and is there spring that will be hard to put back together. I just need to replace the starter rope.

I recommend you replace the complete starter assembly. this cultivator has an "Incredi-pull" start system. If something is worn inside the starter assembly and you replace the starter rope, it will break again fairly soon. The starter assembly is part number 753-05075 and is available from the following link: Sears PartsDirect .

You can also view a parts breakdown of the cultivator that might help on the reassembly. The image below contains a parts breakdown.

There are 4 screws that hold the assembly to the engine. Some models the screws are rivets and will have to be drilled out. the replacement assembly will come with 4 replacement bolts.

I hope this information is helpful resolving your problem but if you have any additional questions then submit another question with additional details for further assistance.

This is a great place to go for advice, especially if you're low on funds and you could resolve the problem before calling and paying a service call, if it's an easy fix. I'm glad you are there for me.
