Hello everyone
Reference the above engine, it is extremely hard to pull start and at times I need to brace myself and use 2 hands. It can on occasions 'bite' and pull the cord out of my hand viciously. The in gear safety start is all ok and not causing these issues and otherwise the engine runs very well. At times it can almost feel like the pull cord will break and recently the spring in the recoil assembly broke.
Is this normal for this make / model, if not any ideas as to why it's doing this and any suggestions as to how I might sort the problem out?
Many thanks in advance
Mark
