Just be carefull when you start taking the recoil apart, you should wear safety glasses or a shield if available. That recoil spring is a snake waiting to jump out and bite you if you don't use caution with it.

It's most likely the rope that broke. When you take it apart, for sure there will be some kind of spring that will want to explode out of the assembly, wear gloves and glasses. There may be some small stuff like little clips or weights that are part of the recoil clutch. Make sure they don't go flying. Easiest place to get that rope is any grass cutter dealer/service place. It's usually sold by the foot.

lots of patience!!! on the end of the rope, heat it with a lighter and semi shape it to a point to get it through the PITA hole.

Is the spool still attached to the spring?
now the next thing with this old motor is ajusting the carb. this one i have been working on for a while and cant get it right. i put new plugs wires coils packs and points. i can get it to run for a few minutes then dies. and i already checked the tank and that is all good
