Toro Mower with Recoil Starter problem

13 years ago
Toro model 20016 with a Tecumseh 6.5 hp engine. 4 yrs old.
The rope doesn't go back inside when you pull it out. I took the cover and starter off and it will take the rope back if you get it started but not every time. I reloaded the rope, took it off wound the spring and then attached the rope, no improvement. It has tension but when you put it back on and pull the rope, it stays out.
I see the complete recoil starter assembly is $57 online.
Are there springs or other parts that wear out that can be replaced without having to replace the entire thing? How much trouble is it to do so?
