engine very difficult to turn over with pull cord.
once it starts a great deal of soot at exhaust which clears up. Mower has normal power once it starts.
when you try to start it, it is so stiff you think you will break the pull cord or real mechanism

Let me repeat a post from another thread that might just get you the help you need. Please follow it.


Since this is a help forum, it is only fair that the people trying to answer questions have some information to work with, so they can give an accurate answer. This helps them if they need to research parts or service information on your engine or equipment. In the first part of your post please include your engine numbers from the ID tag or stamping and the equipment type and model numbers that are on it. Failure to do this may result in you not receiving any accurate help with your problem.

Many of the tech's that hang out here work in or have there own shops and the first thing they do when they make up a work order on a unit is include the engine and equipment numbers on the work order. Since this technical forum is offered free to the public, it's the least we can ask you to do, so please help all of us out. *So please post the numbers in the new topic you start to ask your question. It should be the first thing you write before beginning your question. :D

I would be careful mine done that right before it throw the crank bearing. I would have it checked. I still have no idea what was wrong WITH MINE but I do know it BLEW UP.
