What part is broken? Is it just the rope, or is the rod/release mechanism broken? Really need more info to provide the best answer. At one point on an old TM I tied half hitches on either side of the catch release and looped the pull rope through anithe hitch in the middle because a piece of plastic broke off.

I just bought new rope from Home Depot after mine left me stranded and made sure I bought 2 of them and sealed the ends with a lighter. Next time it breaks (and it will), I'll have a spare.

You can use plastic coated braided cable in lieu of the rope...more durable, the sun rots rope...

Lawn mower pull start rope is a lot tougher than other rope types. If the break is out past the hole that it goes through to the release mechanism and you have room just tie a surgeons knot using the remaining pull rope.
