I used pure gas instead of added oil to the gas on
You ran it with straight gas. For how long? Did you turn it off or did it shut down. The oil mixed in the fuel is to provide lubrication to the moving parts to prevent metal on metal wear and excessive heat.If the engine stopped itself, it most likely has been damaged. If you noticed it quickly, you may still be able to use it. Will the recoil pull and attempt to start or is it seized? If it won't attempt to pull, then I suspect the engine has suffered access wear including scoring of the cylinder wall, piston and piston rings. A rebuild is necessary and may not be worth it vs. cost of replacement.
Replacing the pull cord on
Same problem here.After snapping a couple fins off the flywheel trying to lock it with a screwdriver, I had an idea that worked quite well.I used an oil filter wrench (designed like pliers) Item #36778 at harbor freight.The thin design held the flywheel well (very tight fit,had to force past the plastic housing) while I used a socket and power handle.Worked for me and used it when torquing the crankshaft extension nut tight again.
