The parts inside the carburetor need to be replaced (gasket and diaphragm kit) and/or the L and H screws need to be adjusted on the carb. Try grasping and turning the L mixture screw on the carburetor (one closest to engine) about 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn counterclockwise.
This is somewhat common in the the "zip start" machines. The recoil pulley is 2 plastic housings with a round coil spring between them. It is designed to need less effort to pull and start the machine. When pulled on with great effort/frustration, the middle spring bends and damages the upper housing. The only semi-permanent solution is to replace the pulley assembly. The part is relatively cheap thru Homelite.com. If you can do it yourself, go for it. A repair shop will most likely charge you $20 to $40 in labor to do this.
sounds like it was put for a while with fuel in it ,,that hard ball keeps getting harder because it cant flow thru the system, that yellow knob adjusts your choke flap just to be set not pumped is going to have to be cleaned with carb cleaner
sounds to me like dirt in gas tank dirty or plugged filter screen on fuel line inside gas tank or plugged pinched or obstucted fuel line . also check for the following pin hole in primer bulb bad spark plug dirty or rusty coil or flywheel magnet.or simply dirty or missadjusted carb if i can be of further assistance let me know i would start with the fuel hoses and make sure they are in good shape first ...do the easiest and cheapest things first good luck hope this gets you up and running good mrdmburns@cableone,net
