[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 397220, member: 7076"] That little red arm is a lockout to prevent you from starting the motor in gear. If you look closely, you'll see a small bump on the timing plate that turns with the throttle. If the lockout is engaging, reduce the throttle a bit. That should stop the lockout from engaging. The recoil should be easy to fix. Pull the rope out as far as you can. Then open a pair of pliers and stick them under the sprocket that engages the flywheel. Now you should be able to release the pull cord without it rewinding. Now remove the starter handle, (may need to cut the rope to remove it). Wrap the rope around the pulley one or two more turns. Feed the rope back through the cowling and retie it to the handle. Should rewind nicely now. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
