    Most hardware stores carry replacement ropes. They will be plenty long. You just cut off what you don’t need once you get it rewound. You will have to get the starter assembly off the top of the engine. It may be that you will have to remove the entire engine shroud. Remove the rest of the old rope and attach the new one the same way. Once you have the cord around the pulley you will have to give the pulley a couple of turns to put tension on the spring.

    I have had the best results buying what is called a "starterkit" or "rewind kit" to replace the cord.
    Look up either a Honda dealeer or a small engine repair shop in your area and see what they offer.

    Here’s a link to an online part supply
