It really hurts when that little bugger fails and you’re not expecting it! If you know it’s not working you can usually bring it to TDC and let it rip, but if it catches you off guard, look out! 😩
Absolutely! Pulled the cord out of my hands a couple of times before I learned to always "check it". Wasn't shocked to see the recall notice I recently received (HRX217 model).
This happens to me occasionally on my Toro 721 Power Clear Snowblower .... They have what Im going to call a 212cc Honda Clone that really runs good but every once in a while, it will catch you half way up the pull and its a hard stop when you dont expect it ....!??? Solution .... use the electric starter ....Lol .... but not practical if you stall it and need a quick restart in the middle of the driveway ... ! 😂
@marknye51.thefixitguy Generally I'm usually in a hurry. I let the rope feed back in, If I'm lucky I start the pull slowly and it catches and starts. Sometimes though when I hit the early stop point, I slowly pull through it, let it retract , then do a slow pull and it starts ??? Just trail and error I guess, it's never quite the same twice .
Same thing with the Briggs and Stratton engines. My Husky mower seemed to have vapor lock or not enough starter power. Kept charging or buying new batteries. Then learned about a massive number of B&S engines having the same problem. To date, B&S have not assumed responsibility for this.
Very detailed explaination. Are you up for a collaboration? Hipa supplies parts for small engines and I'm looking for youtubers to work with to share more tips on small engine repairing. Are you interested in?
By your comment I am assuming you were looking for a fix. There a few things you can do depending on the issue. If the centrifugal weight or springs are damaged or seized it will not move the lever opening the exhaust valve. It could also be a exhaust valve issue. If the valve has to much lash then it will not open even if the decomposition unit on the cam is working properly.
Thank you for the knowledge! Quick and short straight to the point video
Keep the oil changed regularly or you’ll pay the price folks
They will stick tight from metal in oil
It’s a fact 😊

I BROKEN FIVE CORDS ALREADY AND ALMOST SNATCHED MY ARM OFF A FEW TIMES.
Yeah that shit is the devil, I've been caught lacking a few times 😂
Hey I had one that did this and it had a lot of aluminum in oil locking the level and I over hauled and new camshaft
I have 2 sportsman generators that have this problem. Im hoping they are gx200 clones because I cant find replacement cams.

How do you fix it

Why would it all of s sudden fail on a EB5000X generator
This is only one of a few reasons it could be hard to pull over. A sudden failure could be something mechanical

You should put a note at the beginning of this video that in no way are you going to tell us how to fix it

It could also be something mechanical. Seized or tight crank to rod, or piston and cylinder issue.
Can the decompressor level produce noise, like banging metal, when the spring is loose? Or when engine is running at full RPMS spring doesn't matter?
Jeff, you need to work on your presentation before doing a video.
Does Honda going to fix it??😊
Lololo
