Our diamond cord ™ is the world’s strongest and most durable pull start cord. Our unbreakable starter cord uses patented technology that is five times stronger than steel. The high-performance design allows smoother pulling for lawn mower pull cords and any other recoil starter rope applications. Using diamond cord ™ eliminates downtime and inconvenience from broken pull start cords. There is also no monetary loss from frequent cord replacements. Applications include lawn mower pull cord, generator pull cord, snow blower pull cord, chainsaw pull cord, snowmobile pull cord, and other recoil rope started devices. Our diamond cord ™ can replace nylon/polyester cord and steel cable. It is also ideal for use as an emergency tow-rope for small recreational vehicles, tie-up rope, light-gauge winch line, and other general rope use applications. more

Use a socket and wrench to disconnect the negative battery cable, if you have an auxiliary battery on board your craft. Unclasp the top engine cowl snaps and pull the cowl off. If the pull rope still extends through a guide hole in the engine cowl and the rope has broken at the handle position, pull the rope out of the guide hole from the inside and take the cowl off. If the rope remains around the drive pulley cog, pull on it to see if the spring still has tension on it. more

Manual starters on outboard motors consist of a pull rope, handle, winding spring mechanism and a gear cog. Simple in design and function, the pull rope allows the owner to manually pull to turn the engine over. Once the engine turns over fast enough, it creates a spark for ignition, starting the engine. Unfortunately, pull-rope starters often fail, usually as a result of a broken pull rope. Any boat owner can perform on-site repairs in case of an emergency, or he can permanently replace the pull rope by removing a few parts and using some basic tools.

Refer to your owner's motor manual, if available, for the correct length and diameter pull rope you will need as a replacement. Pull ropes come in standard replacement lengths and are usually made of water-resistant, braided nylon. They come in a few diameters, including 1/4- and 3/16-inch sizes. Get the proper replacement rope for your outboard motor; the boat-supply store should be able to help you find the correct replacement size and length if your owner's manual isn't available.

Don a pair of gloves and safety glasses. If you have rope wound around the drive pulley cog, turn the pulley against its spring tension, one-half revolution at a time, until you reach the end of the pulley rope, knotted in the pulley. Wedge a screwdriver between the gears of the drive pulley cog and the flywheel teeth to hold it in position. Use a block of wood to hold the tension, if that works better. Be careful -- the spring is under pressure.

It seems like once every two-three weeks there is a snapped pull cord on something. Going to the hardware store for a replacement cord is a pain. And, yes, we try to be gentle when starting equipment, or at least I do, but there is always a broken cord somewhere.

[Astro]

a few break every year dont know how u do it every 3 weeks more

[yuooo]

the generic ones from the hardware stores are garbage. try getting one from the manufacturer and it should last longer. more

The flywheel must be turning fast enough to start the engine. If the flywheel is not turning fast enough, the fuel-air mixture can leak around the piston, and there is insufficient compression to support ignition. If the flywheel is not turning fast enough, the spark fires before sufficient compression is achieved, and the fuel-air mixture fails to ignite. If the flywheel is not turning fast enough, ignition can occur before the piston reaches the top of its stroke, and the explosion opposes the piston motion and does not impart sufficient momentum to the flywheel to drive the engine through a second compression cycle. Motor starter pull cords are typically made of nylon fiber. Nylon pull cords sometimes do not provide enough impetus to start the engine on the first pull or even subsequent tries. Nylon starter cords wear out and break, frequently at inopportune moments – rendering the engine, and hence the tool or vehicle inoperable. In some vehicles, especially marine outboard engines, all-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles, inability to start the engine can be life threatening.

Gasoline internal-combustion piston engines are used on power tools, such as chain saws, lawn mowers and snow blowers, and on vehicles, such as snowmobiles, outboard motor boats, and all-terrain vehicles.

The reason that it is easier to start the engine is that the engine flywheel turns much faster with an diamondcord™ pull cord. An analysis shows that a typical power tool flywheel can turn about 45% faster with the diamondcord™ pull cord than with a nylon pull cord.

Gasoline engines are used on power tools, such as chain saws and snow blowers, and on vehicles, such as snowmobiles, personal water craft, and all-terrain vehicles. Many of these tools and vehicles have a manual starter pull cord mechanism to provide the initial impetus to start the engine. The pull cord is wound around a starter pulley connected to the engine’s flywheel and crankshaft. To start the engine, a user pulls the starter cord to unwind it from the pulley and impart rotation to the flywheel and crankshaft. more

In laboratory abrasion tests, a typical nylon starter cord failed at an average of 22,677 pulls. DiamondCord failed at an average of 1,431,852 pulls. here
