While trying to start my trimmer this morning I must have pulled too quick and the pull string is now stuck and will not rewind. How do I fix this?

You could take it apart to fix, but usually a light shock from bumping it near the pull rope area with a block of wood will let it loose and the rope usually rewinds like it should.
