The flywheel key is fine, but when I put the flywheel back on there is a small arrow on the top...on one part of the "circle". But I can't find any arrow to match it up with, so I'm wondering if that has anything to do with the timing of the flywheel and the pull cord.

The pull cord will pull out about a couple of feet, then stop, then do the same thing again. It's not fluid at all, and I have to pull the S*it out of it to get to pull all of the way out to crank up. Haven't done anything with the mower differently when mowing. And it wants to backfire when it starts if I get it to start.
