Anyone know how to replace the pull start cord on this model? Is there another way to get around using the pull start?

You can rewind the string by removing the 3 screws holding it to the engine. You Tube has good videos on how to do that. If the cover is damaged order a new one.

Hey Bart, sorry to hear about the tragic end to your cord but there are two options. It sounds like it wasnt a warranty issue so you have two options. Contact the manufacturer who's info should be listed with the manual. But I would contact amazon because their customer service has always been outstanding when ever I've had to deal with them. See if they have any returns that may have had problems with the blanket but not the cord. Since its a return or "used" item you might be able to purchase it.

We sent the saw back, because my husband could not pull the cord. We contacted the company they said it was because of the omissions standards which increased the compression. He several other saws and has no trouble starting them. The company stated that they have received complaints about this. I hope this helps.

I have started mine more than 25 times and it has started by the 3rd pull all but one time, I pulled the cord a dozen or so times and realized that I had the run switch in the off position. Other than that mine runs perfect all the time. Iove this thing.

Considering the poorly made LCDI cord is very prone to failure on the Fridgidaire units, I would say go ahead and put a normal cord on it before install. The rest of the unit is top notch and mine is going on 10 years old but the cord costs $140 to replace every couple years unless you go with a standard non lcdi cord. On here actually looking to purchase a new one just for energy efficiency.

I just used mine last week and it started the first pull. It starts with the choke pulled all the way out. After it starts you push it in. I always start it with the water off on a quick connect fitting that has a shut off. You might check the spark plug and make sure the wire is connected securely.

I use the pull start. The push button thing was only novelty when I bought the mower and has never worked as far as I can tell. Short of that one defect it has been a really great mower.

None I just removed the old one and plugged the new one in. You might want to have a poolman do the work.

Put a piece of tape on the cover. Pull on the tape as you push down on the appropriate place on the cover. Gives you more pull power.

Not much .... I mean there is 3 ways to start it ... Key , remote , or pull cord . Unless I don't understand your question .

It's a pull start. It's really easy even with the pull start and always starts on the first or second pull

Totally agree!! A frined of mine gave me his becasue the pull cord is broken. I tinkered with it and figured out that it's total junk!!

You shouldn't need a puller unless your coil overheated and seized the clutch onto the spline. Might require some tapping with a ball peen hammer. I cut mine off with a die grinder. assembly is very easy.

should not be the one I have will start on 2nd pull with the choke check spark plug and the fire. did have to change the coil on the one I have and check the bowl on the the carb make shore its not gummed up . turn the fuel off and let it run out of gas .now if you are where its cold it will be hard to start you my have to pull on it 7 or 8 times my one will do it at about 50 f or below

There is no pull cord. You plug in the power cord and hold a lever in to start it. You hold in the lever while you hold the handle and mow. It's very easy and only requires a normal grip.

I found out it wasn't the unit - the cord/charger was bad. A lot cheaper to replace than the main unit. If you know someone else with the same model, try borrowing their charger cord and testing it with your unit. Odds are that's the problem. Good luck.
