Good info thanks. Noted.
Trying to start from cold the pull doesn't seem very tight, but after spraying in the starter and replacing the plug, the pull is very tight and is a hard short tug, but it fires right up on that pull. You really have to brace against the gen to not pull it over while tugging the rope. Then lots of smoke which goes away as it warms up. Warmed up and running no smoke.
Side note--This is nothing like the first time I got involved with a pull cord start. Big old riding lawnmower. Guy showed me how to start it with its pull rope you got out of its tool box. You had to wind it around a pulley and tug. Started first time when he did it.
My turn--no way, pulled it many times got really frustrated thought my arms would fall off. Then another guy did it --first time started! Then I noticed he wound the rope around the other way from my way. Hmmmm. So I tried it winding it the other way around and bam-it started first pull. Arghhh! It was me being left-handed so I just naturally wound it around the other way and that was the problem. :(
