I would replace the starting rope. The rope is wedging itself onto the bottom of the spool and you are loosing leverage. The rope is wedging itself in the rewind spool giving you a false seance of excessive compression.

I've had that problem with an 044 many times. It can jerk your arm off almost when that happens. I've discovered that if I very slowly pull the starter rope two or three times, that it eases up on compression and cranks normally. Saves you popping your elbow out.

slow

yes texus have pulled it slowly through to full extension of cord 20 times in a row ,no dice lucky to pull it with a tractor ,just about had it ,teach me a lesson to buy this cheap crap
