How to fix a DR Trimmer recoil that won't pull?
If the recoil on your DR Trimmer is difficult to pull or won't pull out, check the engine oil level, as the engine may be seized. An oil compression lock in the cylinder might be the cause. Remove the spark plug, cover the spark plug hole with a rag, and pull the recoil cord several times to clear any oil from the cylinder. Wipe off the spark plug and reinstall it. If this doesn't resolve the issue, the recoil may be broken or jammed. With the spark plug wire off, try turning the engine pulley by hand. If it turns, the recoil is broken or jammed.
