I have a mower that my father-in-law gave me that was running great until one day it would not start. When you pull the cord to start it, it feels like the recoil is stuck. I pulled off the recoil, and it moves fine. When spinning the engine by hand, it is stiff and hard to turn part way through the stroke. I pulled the head off and the piston seems to be moving fine...in fact it moves great with the head off.
I am not an engine guy but I am trying to learn. Can anyone help me diagnose this?
Thanks!
