Hi guys,

i have come across a gear start tiltacut that has me stumped...

i get kickback when trying to start the edger (as if there is too much compression). The decompressor is fine (i have tested it on other mowers with no ill effects). I understand that with mowers a loose base plate would cause this effect, but i dont understand what could be causing it in the edger... (apart from a bent crank, but i find it hard to imagine a full crank would be bent, especially on a edger where the belt/blade would give way if i smacked anything hard before the crankshaft...)

the edger start mechanism feels smooth without a decompressor OR/AND without a spark plug.

so,im really out of ideas...


Happy to hear from anyone!

regards,
R.bag
