    The job is fairly easy to fix. Throw the old rope out. You will not be able to use it now. You cannot buy new rope with the wire leader in it anymore like your original however. Use the new rope, and make a figure 8 knot, or I have seen guys use spark plug springs as hooks on the end of the rope.

    Wind the recoil up, then back it off 1 turn. Clamp it so that you can work on it. Install the new rope, and make the figure 8 knot. Then unclamp it, and let it recoil in. You are done.
