Clutch not engaging deck belt

[7394]

I removed the spark plug and put some starter cord in as far as I could. Just kept spinning.

You said remove spark plugs and put in holes...there is only 1 spark plug that I am aware of.

Also, is it ok to put cord in there on an OHV engine?

Just FWIW: If you fill the combustion chamber with the rope, of course leaving a good length hanging out to later remove it, the engine will turn & compress it & turn no further. That's how that works..

And fine to use on OHV & Flattys.

For tools you only need once every 1 million years, your local parts house usually rents or even loans them. There's upfront costs, just incase you don't bring it back. But they refund the money when you return it.
