Hi - this is my first post (YAY!!!). Got myself 2 acres in NJ... very happy and excited! Ready to get to work.
I bought a Craftsman Chipper Shredder... pristine condition, always garaged, no rust. It is a 8.5 HP green version 247.775880
Has a Tecumseh engine. I started it up at the seller (engine was cold), it fired up nicely and ran for a good bit (a few backfired, but it smoothed out).
When i got home and tried it several days later - I could not pull the started... pull it 4" and CLANK... nothing. I did not want to force it.
I took off the pull start cover - and it pulls nice and easy, the teeth come out - all looked good. I turned over the engine (I think) by turning the large nut, basically with my hand, it was not easy, but it spun. So put it back together and same thing... CLANK, would not pull.
Any suggestion would be grateful. I got a ton of leaves to mulch!!!! THANK YOU!
