I have not tried to add gas and run it yet. I
want to find out why it
pulls so hard before I try to run it. I
probably could not pull it fast
enough to start it anyhow.

Any ideas ????

Thanks


Stuck or defective compression release valve?

It may not even _have_ a compression
release!


Even if it did, one can still start one not using he CR. It'll pull "stiff" but not "very hard".

Pull the plug and then try the rope. If it is still stiff, you have a
problem. My Remington snaps like crazy when I pull the cord - very
high compression. Don't ever try to start it on a ladder or in a
tree!!
