Hi pbk918, and a big warm welcome to the forum. You may have to remove the whole cowling to find out where the broken cord has dissappeared to, hoping this video will help you. It contains all the info on B&S starter cord replacement including replacing the cord and handle

This is a relatively simple process, but you have to be VERY careful when doing this. The spring is long, under some tension and has sharp edges. Anytime you are dealing with the manual rewind starter assembly, there is risk of the spring coming out and possibly injuring yourself or others. If you do not feel comfortable performing this repair, I strongly suggest visiting one of the authorized dealers in your area and have them do this for you.
