Probably one with a pressure washer pump attached to it. Make sure it is not pressure in the pump that is stopping the engine from cranking. Once you do that, you can start to diagnose the engine. If you over primed and got raw gas into the cylinder it can be hard to turn over. Does it crank easily if you put the plug back in? |

Release the pressure on the pump by pulling the trigger on the wand. Hold it there, crank the engine. Pumps under pressure make it hard to crank the engine. BTDT. |
