Inspect the recoil starter housing:
* Check the recoil starter housing for any damage or cracks that may be preventing the cord from pulling smoothly. If there is any damage, the recoil starter housing may need to be replaced.
Check the starter rope:
* Examine the starter rope for signs of wear, fraying, or breakage. If the rope is damaged, it will need to be replaced.
Check the starter mechanism:
* Look for any obstructions or debris that may be preventing the cord from pulling. Ensure the starter mechanism is free from dirt and debris.
Inspect the return spring:
* Verify that the return spring is properly seated and has not become disconnected or damaged. A faulty return spring can prevent the pull cord from retracting smoothly.
Check the spark plug:
* Remove the spark plug and inspect it for any damage or excessive carbon deposits. A fouled or damaged spark plug can cause difficulty in starting the engine and may affect the pull cord's resistance.
Check the compression:
* If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it's possible that the engine may have a compression problem. This can be checked by performing compression test. If compression is low, the engine may need further servicing.
If you are unable to resolve the issue on your own, it is recommended to consult the user manual of your powerwasher or seek assistance from a qualified repair technician.
