Hi I'm new here...
I've got a mower with a briggs and stratton 450 motor.
When I pull the cord I can feel it engaging and locking on and starting to turn the motor, but when I really start to pull harder, something slips with a harsh ratcheting grinding sound, as if the starter was losing its grip on the motor shaft. Hence the motor doesn't start because I can't get a good pull on it.
Anyone know what the problem could be ?
Do I simply have to replace the whole recoil assembly?
Thanks!
