Mower Cord Pulls Back and Won't Start - Hurts Hand When Starting - Fix Briggs and Stratton Engine

[@TheGrinch8888]

Thank you!!! I had the same symptoms and watching your video saved me from buying a new mower. I have a Toro that started running rough and quit. It had a bad spark plug and loose blade. Fixed both and then it was pulling back on the cord and difficult to start. Ran rough and started making clanking noise again. Blade loosened up again. Watched your video and the key was also sheared. Replaced key and it started first pull and ran great. You really made my day. Thanks

I'm so glad it helped! My mower is still working :)

[@RiverLifeWV]

My mower kicks back but I’ve replaced the flywheel key and adjusted the valves any help ?

[@RiverLifeWV]

No idea about valves. Sorry!

Lol well done

[@fredpaton1085]

Now I just have to attempt my 2 lawn mowers

[@JohnlGuillen-de2dj]

You didn’t unplug the spark plug

[@victorbremer8097]

Yes he did, he removed the wire. The spark plug gets no spark without the wire attached. If you don’t know that, don’t attempt to take anything apart because you’re a danger to yourself 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@patbassman8251]

OMG you guys are still using imperial .

[@RiverLifeWV]

What is imperial? Oh, you mean not metric?

[@philhugill8458]

If metric were better than Imperial, we would have been first to use it, not the last.@@RiverLifeWV
