Default Generac Generator EXL5500 start problems

One more shot at the situation:
1. Pullstart comes to a screeting halt because of compression. With
lots of pull one can move it further but not with enough speed to
start.
2. Jump start from car works albeit with the engine running on the car
the lights dim thats how much the starter needs to draw. It too stalls
on every other attempt because it is to darn hard to move.

3. Spark plug removed, the crank moves easily and there is no oil or
anything coming out of the cylinder.
4. Once the unit starts, it runs fine. So there must be something that
makes turning the crank hard just during startup.


You've been told what the problem is. You've been told that it's very
difficult to get to. It's obviously way over your head to fix it
yourself. Take the generator and pay to have it serviced.
