Pull Cord on Lawnmower is Too Long

The starter pull cord on my lawnmower is a bit too long for my arm, so the mower is hard for me to start up. What can I do to simplify this? It's the only reason I dislike mowing!

Thanks, guy. I'll try the suggestions, as soon as the rain lets up around here in WV. Nica

Or, you can make a series of knots along the shaft of the cord. This makes things shorter. good luck!

Look in the end of the knob, there should be a hole where the end of the cord is knotted. You can pull the knob lower on the cord and re-knot it, thus shortening the cord.
