Re: Briggs motor on Sensation mower hard to pull enough to start

Did you remount the blade? An engine can be started without it but it's not easily done.

I haven't remounted the blade as of yet. I expect to be able to by drilling and tapping the bolt holes on the spindle and then threading in new bolts. The engine does spin freely (with the expected compression pauses of course) when I use a box end wrench. But when I put the starter back on top and pull the cord it is hard, not impossible, but difficult to pull fast enough. The starter cord does pull ok when not attached to the mower.
