The height adjuster on plastic Empress models is a known weak point. There WAS a repair kit available - don't kow if you can still get it. What has hapenned is the plastic scew thread moulded into the adjuster knob hole has stripped. Most people put packing under the head of the adjuster to acheive a useable (non-adjustable) height.
The pull cord is anthother matter - the procedure varies slightly depending on what engine is fitted.
