Left it 5 mins tried again and I was away singing your praises Reply Delete. Once the starter is off. I am sorry you are having a problem with the mower. I assume you can pull the rope out. If the engine still will not start I recommend taking the mower to one of our drop off locations. Before you pull the rope once more its crucial to examine whether the flywheel brake is pressing against the handle.

OMG you have just saved me. Consult your owners manual to find the procedure for removing the starter. If the flywheel brake does not cause the issue examine the lawnmower blade. If you can turn the blade then the problem is in the recoil starter. If the bail is against the handle and you cant pull the starter rope you might need to adjust the control cable so it is pulling the lever on the blade brake on the side of the enginefar enough to release the brake. Pull on the rope to move it until it becomes loose on the track.
