OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Question on Digging Equipment Rotary Hoes & Tillers Starter cord rewinds sometimes

I have a B&S 5HP pull start engine on my old Dynamark tiller. Occasionally the pull cord will rewind e.g. comes out when the engine is running at high speeds. It seems like the only way this could happen is for the engine to be running backwards but I know this is not the case. When this happens the spring stays engaged and has tension. To fix it involves untangling the rope from the clips that hold the starter pulley in place.

I've replaced the starter clutch, starter spring and rope and none of this has solved this problem.

Any ideas?

it sounds like the starter clutch is binding up on the spindel on the end of the crank ,make shore this assembly is well oiled you note at the top of this an oil hole this has felt under it and is ment to be oiled at every service ,but I would pull it apart and make shaw theres no rust on it ,if so linish it of with emery cloth and oil it before you put back together this should see you right. good luck.

That was it.

Thanks!
