Hi I have a very nice Savage 21 that I almost have broke in but being a newb I broke the pull start and am in search for one does anybody have any am willing to purchase it thanks for any help

Depending on what broke... you may be able to fix it. If the rope broke close to the end, you can take it apart, rethread it and put a new knot on it, or just buy a new rope. If the spring broke close to the end, you can usually gently heat the last inch or so with a small torch to take the temper out of it, then rebend a new hook in it and reinstall it.

Neither are all that fun to do, but are definitely possible ways to get going again.

Already have fixed the spring it’s holdin up good but where the string threads thru it’s like the string has cut a lil slot beyond where it should be I have tried two diff times to get it going with no luck....where can I get new string we have one hobby shop in my town and it’s more trains and other things not a whole lot of rc car or truck stuff thanks for your help though I will try again with some new string

Yeah, if you don't pull the string out at the proper angle, over time, it will cut through the housing. Some housings have a brass insert to help avoid that, others don't.

The strings are fairly generic, so you shouldn't need a brand specific one. Either of these should work:

The housings are somewhat generic as well, with subtle variations. I don't know any that are a direct fit for you though.
