Abstract
A device for pulling the starter cord of a lawn mower engine utilizes a pulling cable attached to a pulley wheel activated by a high torque electric motor. An elongated base supports an upright post, upon which the motor is mounted. A chute protectively guides the cable as it spans the distance between the pulley wheel and starter cord. A restoring cable, in association with a return wheel and coil spring unwind the pulling cord from the pulley wheel when the motor is deactivated.
