Great fix. I have one of these engines that is really hard to pull start, and it almost feels like it wants to yank the rope out of your hands, like it has a sheared key or off time. If I do a quick torquey pull, it always starts first time, but I cant figure out why its so hard to pull with an engine so small. These are ideal for seniors, but they cant pull fast and hard enough so I haven't put it up for sale.. Ive already went through it twice, checking the key and valve clearance...everything seems great! Maybe this little guy has a compressions release and I possibly have adjusted it on the hump? Ill upload a video of it if your up for giving it a look?
Quick easy fix, well done
Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers

I don't hear of it happening often with push mowers, but it is possible the compression release is not working on your machine.
Nice quick fix. Well done
You on summer vacation? No videos lately !
