Welcome rkalainof!

Can you feel any resistance when you pull the rope out or will it rewind with some help? Many times it's just the grease in around the recoil spring that gets hard and makes the spring hard to recoil. Shoot some WD-40 around the spring and see if it will losen up. May have to help it some.

some times a couple of good thumps on the top will free them up.
