SOURCE: Generator hard to start. Kick back
This sounds like the timing is off. Remove the spark plug and pull the cord to see if there is less tension. If there is less tension then you know that the pull cord is fine. Do a compression check on the cylinder, it should be around 100psi. Remove the valve cover and check to see if valves are moving when your pulling the cord. The valves could have came off the rockers.
SOURCE: I broke the pull cord on my generator; how do I
you should remove the housing usually 4 bolts
dont remove anything else then look at the pully and remove the old chord tie a knot in the new chord and slot it into the hole on the pulley
you should then see a notch in the edge of the pulley this is for the chord to sit in while you turn the pully enough times to tension the recoil spring once tensioned enough so that it recoils all the chord slot the chord through the hole in the outer casing through the pull hande and knot it job done then refit
SOURCE: the starter cord pulled out but will not go back
The pulling back spring is broken or loose.
SOURCE: the pull cord is to hard to pull,cant pull it to start,,what would cauae it to be hard to pull
