The pull start rope is stuck, all they way out. The take up spool inside is locked up. Please advise how to fix it. Local Farm & Garden repair store said it was cheaper to buy a new one than pay to have it fixed. So, I want to try to fix it myself. Do not have an Illustrated parts breakdown sheet to start with.

Thank you....Johnny D.

The engine will not start & stay running - When it is cold - prime & pull 3 times - move to half choke & it will start > Now it will not start > also has gas running out of the exhaust after it has been used...only need it har 10 minutes a week & don't want to spend $$$
Any advice??
