I had a bloke turn up yesterday with a PT I had sold him and the pull cord was broken.Problem with that was that I had put a new pluu cord on it for him about 4 weeks ago. At that time I told him that if it doesn't start, don't keep pulling it, bring it back, there is something wrong. (probably float needle) Anyway I went to put a new cord on it and the spring had broken ( I don't know how you can break the spring and cord at the same time but Islanders are able to do this sort of thing. I replaced the starter and then it wouldn't start. Checked the fuel, no fuel, add fuel and it started straight away.
