I have a 6 year old Cub Cadet mower with a 173cc vertical shaft engine. It kicks back strongly when I try to start it. I removed the flywheel to check the woodruff key which is not sheared or twisted so the bad timing is not being caused by that. Anything else I can adjust or check?

Many thanks. I finally got a chance today to check the valve lash which was larger than it should have been, particularly on the exhaust valve. Set it up and bingo, the thing now runs like a top.
