Take it apart and try to re-wind it, otherwise just replace it. Pullstarts can be a pain to fix.

Most pull starts can be repaired - unless a part (other than the cord) has broken. They can ba a real PITA to fix though. It's really difficult to explain exactly how to go about it because, while most work on the same basic idea, they can have some differences. Since your's is broken now, take it apart and see if you can figure it out. If your cord is broken I've found that "mini-blind" cord works pretty good as a replacement.

Also, it is a really good idea to keep a spare pull start around so you can just swap it on while you're fixing the other one.
