It is not the spark plug. when you pull the coil the fly wheel rotates 3/4 of the way then have to pull real hard to go past that.With the plug out pulls easy with the plug in and not pluged in still hard to pull 3/4 of the way through . I do not know much about engine people tell me timing?It fells like the motor s gets stuck with pressure after 3/4 turn of engine. Thanks
