Hey guys. So on my last ride my pull cored snapped and got sucked back into the recoil. When I got home from the ride I opened it up and the rope was shredded inside the recoil housing, nothing was left of the rope haha. So I cleaned out the housing as much as possible and ran new rope through the recoil. After I put it all back together I tried starting it... well it took like 12 pulls then it finally started, tried reverse again and it died. So I'm thinking the rope wrecked something on the stator when it got sucked back into the recoil. Now it starts, but randomly. Might be the first pull, the fifth, or the hundredth pull. Runs fine once it going. Any ideas of what to do?
