WD-40: Lawnmower Cord Fixed!

The lawnmower pull cord had become a real pain, refusing to retract and banging against the mower, threatening to damage it. I decided to take it apart and see what was going on. The problem was obvious: a stiff, dirty spring. Remembering the magic of WD-40, I sprayed it generously on the spring and the surrounding parts. Almost instantly, the cord started to move more freely. After working it back and forth a few times with more WD-40, the pull cord now retracts like it's brand new. No more frustrating tugs or worrying about damage – just a smooth, easy start, all thanks to that trusty blue and yellow can.
