Was ran for about five mins without water
Oil may have seeped into cylinder? Oil will not compress. Remove spark plug, then pull cord. Is it easier? If so, continue to pull a few times blowing out all oil. Reinsert plug, should go. If still hard to pull, motor has seized.
What is your model #?
SOURCE: My pull cord to my pressure washer is hard to pull
take out the spark plug and trying pulling it , if its still tight then you may have seized your pump ) , put a rag over te spark plug hole as there may be fuel/oil mix in the cylinder , check the oil in the engine , check the oil in the pump ( look for milkey white , if found then your pump back seals have gone )
SOURCE: I have a Briggs and Stratton power washer
Spray well with WD-40 or similar, and take a small chisel, on it's edge, and hit hard enough to allow chisel to dig in to head of screw, making a "V" like slot in the head, then angle chisel slightly and start tapping in direction of loosening(counter clockwise.) Once it loosens enough to get a pair of visegrips attached to head, use them, and spin them out. Make sure you replace them with new screws.
