Is it still running? My pull cord snapped back on me and the handle went missing. I think it’s going to be an engine issue. I probably got about 5 years’ use since new.

Yes, so far so good. Check your timing key. When a handle gets pulled out of your hand it’s often because the flywheel key was sheared causing the spark to be off time and it pulls the cord out of your hand.
