Starting a small engine.

place it back up the right way
remove the spark plug
fill the sump to the correct level
pull the cord a few times to expel any excess oil out of the cylinder
remove air cleaner to remove any excess oil from the filter
clean the plug by washing in solvent to remove oil
install plug, prime or choke and it should go
will smoke for a while until the oil in the muffler burns out

I have the same issue. Is not the cord. When I removed the cover, the cors pulls out and retracts fine. Is something else.
In youtube the show to connect the water and pull the cord while you keep the trigger so the air gets out. It works on the video and for almost everyone making comments. Still didn't twork for me. Can anyone help? Thanks.
