On your Mower the wire crimp is a stop. so it does not pull the handle all the way in. There should be a metal loop string passes though keeping the pull start handle close to the push handle like this

Also Bike peg is a very good suggestion

http://www.instructables.com/id/Weed-Eater-motor-BikeFriction-Drive/ See this instructable

Please post some close up pics
ou may just need a primer but carb is so cheap $17 its allmost not worth the headache, Also you need to learn how to store a mower and you will never have a problem.

Storage! If you read this and follow this on anything mechanical you own, you will save adleast $10,000. over your lifetime

Its easy to winterize your tractor, lawn mower, or anything that uses a small gasoline engine. The procedure laid out below assumes that you will not be using the equipment again for some time (longer than 60 days).
Clean Up
Lets start with a good clean-up. If you have a pressure washer feel free to use it, use caution though. Take care that you do not force dirt and water into bearings that were not designed to withstand that kind of pressure. The high pressure spray will also wash away any lubricant that it hits.
Inspect and Replace
The next step is to inspect the deck, deck belts, hangers, and blades. If anything is broken or worn, plan to replace it during the winters down time so you are ready come spring. If you have the deck off or tractor jacked up, remove the blades and have them sharpened. You can get the blades off by blocking the blade with a piece of wood and unscrewing the blade bolt or nut. Wearing gloves is a good idea especially when re-installing the sharpened or new blades. Its a good idea to replace deck belts that have any signs of wear. That way your guaranteed to get through the next cutting season without any downtime for a belt that you knew would not make it.
If you have removed the deck, now is a good time to lube the tractor. Use your owners manual. Most owners manuals will point out where, and what kind of lube should be applied.
Oil Change
Lets stop here an change the oil. Check the oil level, if its ok, start the engine and allow it to warm up a little. This will make the oil easier to change and will also stir up the dirt that might in the oil pan so that it will come out with the used oil. Stop the engine and drain the oil. Don't forget to replace the drain plug before refilling. If your engine is equipped with a oil filter, change it now. Refill with the proper oil for your engine.
Now for the Engine
Gasoline is very dangerous. Work only in a well ventilated area, away from any source of heat or open flame!
Fuel Filter
Start by changing the fuel filter. Clamp off the fuel line between the tank and the fuel filter. Remove by loosening the clamps that hold the filter and pulling it out of the hose. Be careful to catch any gasoline that may spill. Always replace the hose that is between the filter and the carburetor. Notice that the filter usually has barbs on it. These barbs may tear the inside of the hose when the filter is removed. A piece of hose could enter the carb and cause real problems.
Remove the air filter and precleaner. Clean or replace them as necessary. Reinstall the Air Cleaner.
Gasoline Preperation
Next, AND MOST IMPORTANT lets prepare the gasoline itself. Gasoline should be stored no more than 30 days without treatment and should be stored in an environmentally friendly  AIRTIGHT container. Start the engine and let it run out of stabilized gas (coating the tank and inner carb). You don't want to leave any gas remaining in the tank or the carburetor or it will form gummy deposits and varnish that will clog the carburetor jets EVEN IF IT HAS STABILIZER IN IT!
Spark Plug
We are almost done. Park the power equipment where it's going to sleep away for the winter, after the next two steps we don't want to start it again. Now, remove the spark plug. Put a teaspoon of engine oil into the spark plug hole. Replace the spark plug with a new one(s). Crank the engine over a few times to spread the oil inside the cylinder(s). And if its possible on your engine turn the engine over by hand until you feel the compression stroke. This closes the valves and prevents moisture from getting into the engine.
Finalizing
Most people change their batteries every year. When in fact, a mower battery should last over 5 years! You should run a trickle charger on your lawn mower 24/7  that has a safety shut off and will only kick on then the voltage requires it. Remove the battery from the unit and store it in a warm spot. Buy a trickle charger $9.99 from harbor freight and use the charger on it through this will:
    Prevent battery self-discharge while maintaining the life of 12 volt rechargeable batteries
    Floating circuit maintains a full charge without overcharging
    Simple to use - just connect and plug in
    Automatic safety shutoff.

Now that you have finished these steps your power equipment should be ready to be safely stored for the winter. Don't forget to replace any damaged or worn out parts during the winter so at the beginning of spring you are ready to get moving again.
