Pull start issue

[Xound5OH]

Hey guys,

After spraying a little bit of Sea Foam Deep creep in through the sprark plug hole and through the front port where the carb bolts onto (30.5 fuelie), the pull start is very hard to pull now. If I remove the spark plug then it pulls like normal. So I did remove the spark plug and pulled it a bunch of times and got some of the spray foam liquid out of it, but even still its hard to pull. I removed the muffler to see if the port was blocked, but its nice and clean. It sounds like its hydro locked, but I cannot figure out how to get any more of this liquid out of it now... does anyone have any suggestions?!! Like I said, it was pulling nice and free up until I sprayed this stuff into the motor.

Thanks,

Alex

take the engine apart and clean it. Replace the gaskets while you are in there.

I agree with Whoduh,
Don't be intimidated by working on your motor just be careful.
I spent the money on a Turtle Pull Start, well worth the money,
no more broken ropes. If you get some vapor lock it will over come it with slow pulls.
Works for me.

Turlte pull start is gold, just make sure you got a good grip on the drill or your wrist will be sore...
