Hi, so new to this forum and glad to find some unbiased opinions on equipment. I have a Bolens BL410 that has died. Ran great till the pull cord wouldn't retract. Replaced the pulley and cord, pulled the cord several times and it retracted. Install the housing screws and it binds the cord. Back the screws out a bit, and the cord full retracts. Assuming the starter housing cover is warped somehow, since the pulley is scored from the pawls. Found a post here saying that was a common issue, and of course, the part is obsolete (unless y'all are aware of some obscure source...no luck with power vendors or eBay hits). I did get creative and put some washers in-between the housing and the frame, and that seemed to help with the rope. However, then the engine was hard to pull, then gave a bit before becoming hard to pull again. Ideas????
