When you pull the rope, there's a "dog" that engages the starter basket. Most common problem is that the dog is sticking and doesn't come out when you pull. Sometimes a bit of lubrication will help things along, but you have to be careful where you put the lube; some recoils also have to have friction to allow the dog to engage.

Probably got frozen with snow/ice. Use a hair dryer to heat the recoil up, then it should work.

Only on the rarest of occasions though  .
Especially father-in-laws. Even if they are right you never let them know.
