    The rope and the handle came with the rebuild kit. I even tried it on the old handle, and on an older spare handle. No luck.

    Maybe they just sent me a bigger rope by mistake. (Just like they mistakenly forgot to send me the friction spring and just like they mistakenly sent me two friction washers. No biggie, my old spring is just fine and I can always use a spare washer.)

    My apologies. The kit does not come with a friction spring. (How odd.)
    And it is supposed to come with two D washers.
    Uhhh, what's the second D washer for???
    I know one goes on the outside of the works. Have no clue about the second washer!
    Now I'm nervous!

    Take a piece of electrical tape and tape the end of the rope real tight. like a shoe lace.

    Simple as that.

    Start an inch from the end of the rope... pull it around a few times as tight as you can.. then snip the tape 5 inches longer.
    \

    twist the tape that's sticking out and push it thru the handle first.. and pull

    There is even a special type of knot you should tie too.

    Yeah, I looked it up and you are correct.
    Took the machine out all day Saturday through surreal mud conditions for about 10 hours and it started right up after every time we took a brake, though. I was a happy camper. Still, I'll go back into it and put that washer back where it should be.
