String trimmer Won't start. Hard to pull starter cord with spark plug installed.

Remove spark plug turn trimmer so that spark hole is down and pull starter rope until all old fuel is evacuated from cylinder, place spark plug back in and try. If this is not problem and especially if it is still hard to pull you may have a ring that has broken and partially hung in cyl.

Hard to install spark plugs are a bit discouraging especially when you are trying to do the job yourself and save the most amount of auto maintanence repair bills you can, hard enough doing this, you encounter at least one if not more spark plugs that just seem to be too hard to get your socket and ratchet on for either removal or worse yet, you have it out and can't get the new plug back in.....WHAT DO YOU DO NOW........
case solved, always have available a length of vacuumn hose bought from your local Auto Zone or the like...bring a spark plug into the parts store and ask the folks to get you a size that fits real tight on the spark plug tip, once found buy at least a 6" lenght of it, you will be amazed how nice this works....it is like owning your own "Snap On" Speciality Flex Socket for difficult spark plug installations, great to get the spark plug threads started as well as it eliminates the worry of stripping the threads if the plug is installed cross threaded by means of starting it with a non forgiving steel socket, whether it be flexible or rigid.
Hope this helps you, I know for many years this little bit of advice has saved me time and time is money!!!
Have Fun!!!!

2001 Honda Passport, change spark plugs with coils on top. Hard to do? Spark plug gap?

not hard to do , just need a little patience to get the coils out of the plug wells.also a swivel type 5/8 inch spark plug socket works best when removing the plugs. as for the spark plug gap, the vehicle requires platinum plugs which do not need gapped.

Plug turned a 1/4 turn and locked down didnt want to force it

no dont force spark plug its trying to cross thread.back spark plug back out.apply thin coat of anti seize compound to spark plug threads.if you have problems getting spark plugs back in a hard to reach place, use a long piece 3/8 vacuum hose about what ever length you need.place vacuum hose over spark plug insulator then install spark plugs to hard reach places to keep from cross threading.if plug tighten 1/4 turn.back out spark plug and try again.dont cross thread or you have to remove cylinder head.if spark plug hole hard to reach to retap or install thread inserts.
