Today we're going to change the recoil starter on a Honda HRX 426 lawn mower. Firstly, remove the 3 nuts with a 10mm Socket Spanner. You will now be able to release the recoil. To lock the starter into place, place a screwdriver in between the pulley and starter housing. To attach the handle back, thread the end of the rope through the hole and tie into a tight knot. Test the recoil to make sure that it has the correct tension. Now you can return this back onto the mower. Secure the three nuts using the 10mm socket spanner. That's how you replace the rope in a recoil starter on a Honda HRX426 Lawn mower.
