An equipment stabilizer for a pull cord start that secures a piece of equipment, such as a chain saw, to a base plate via lockable jig clamps and assists in pulling the pull cord start by providing a pulley operated by a foot pedal. Ratchet straps pass through a horizontal slot through the base plate. An upright beam on the base plate front side has vertically aligned apertures proximal an upper side thereof for spring tension adjustment. A pulley operationally connects a pedal member of the foot pedal to a handle of the pull cord start. Pressing on the pedal member while holding onto the vertical beam moves the pull cord start handle toward the wheel end to start a motor of the piece of equipment.
