I have a pull start with 30 hours on motor. The rope start will not engage
the flywheel. Any ideas what might be wrong. This motor is just like new.




How about a model number so we know which motor?

Most starters have a plastic pawl that protrudes when pulling the rope. The
pawl then "catches" on the flywheel and turns it. It may be broken or have
fallen off. Unbolt the starter and have a look.
