I have 25 year old Craftsman rototiller with a 5 HP model # 133402 5 HP B&S that is driving me crazy. When I pull the rope out more than 12 inches it kicks back violently. If I can get it started with the short pulls it runs great. I pulled flywheel and the shear key is like new and there is no play. The gas shutoff works so there is no chance of hydro lock as I turn it off after each time. The engine has never been apart so all the components and the setting are original.
I talked to the local repair shop and they didn't have any other suggestions.
Has anyone else experienced this type of problem?
Thank You
