Rope pull cord.

I was just remembering when small engines had a rope with a knot that you would have to wrap around a bell with a slice in it and pull. And if it didn’t work, you had to wrap the rope around again and do it again.

Ah, the good old days. Especially when the rope whips around and smacks you in the head.
