Hard starting may come from the recoil system instead of the carburetor or spark plug. If the rope pulls but the engine does not turn, the starter clutch may be worn, dirty, or jammed. The clutch turns the crankshaft during starting and lets go when the engine runs. First inspect the rope, rewind spring, pulley, flywheel screen, and clutch bearing. Confirm fit with the complete engine number. Remove the spark plug wire, wait for hot parts to cool, and keep dirt out of the bearing area. Test free movement before putting the shroud back on.

The gas tank was a simple job, close the fuel shut off, remove fuel hose then back out 2 bolts on the mounting bracket. Reverse procedure to mount.
To replace the pull starter/recoil assy. Remove low oil warning light, and air filter housing then remove the 4 bolts holding the front cover. Once the front cover is free remove kill sw itch wire
Drill out the rivets holding the recoil housing w/ 3/16 bit. Screws w/ nuts are included to use in place of rivets, I used red Locktite on the screws which hold the started recoil to the front cover. Make sure the pull rope is correctly oriented in the 11:00 position. Replace front cover, four bolts. Air filter housing, kill switch wire and low oil warning light
