Just acquired a 2004 5 HP model 1F1144H Tecumseh on a Yard Machines trimmer model 25A203L729.
When I pull the start rope the first time it was very hard to pull. I kept pulling several times and it finally got easier, now it sometimes hard to pull in one spot. It seems like the engine binds sometimes and other times not.
What would cause this? It will not start as of yet and I haven't checked the fuel and spark yet, but I am concerned that maybe it might have internal engine issues.
Thanks
