You place the coiled up spring in the housing. Make sure it is the right way round (when you operate the pull cord). The housing has many little dents inside and the outside spring edge gets jammed on to any one of the dents. It is held there because the spring is constantly pushing outwards.

Once the spring is inserted you can take up slack on the starter cord by winding it around the spool. This can be fiddly but it is possible to do. Test the action of the pull mechanism to make sure it draws the cord back inside. If it is loose put another wind on the cord. That should do it.

Note: I am still looking for a replacement part. Did you ever find the complete Pull cord dtarter for LandXcape SGT34X ?

If there isn't an obvious end to the spring, could it have snapped off, do you think? The outer coil must have some means of attaching it to the recoil casing, and the inner coil end must have a means of connecting with the recoil spinner that connects with the engine.
