Auger Pull cord won't pull

[codywf]

Went out to wizard and tryed to start my stingray auger and the pull cord wouldn't pull, it went out 4-5 inches an wouldn't turn the head. I started it in the morning for a minute and it was fine. I believe it may be flooded because I primed it again before on the ice. Anyone know what up? It is still under warrenty, bought it on march 7th of last year.

  pull out spark plug try to turn with rope
if wont turm may have more  serious problem ,anything jamming flywheel

Agreed ... Don't force it to turn ... May be a piece of carbon jammed in the cylinder or maybe a broken ring.  When you remove the plug it should turn very easy as there is no compression.

take the recoil starter off and see if the cords jammed in the mechanism.. this happens when the grease gets cold i re comend Teflon spray.

I agree with jimmyclaude when plug removed should turn very easy, have heard of problems with pull cord or rewinding. If does not turn easy take it back or give eskimo a call or email heard they have very good service, maybe will send u a part realy quick.

So heres the verdict:

-Covered fully by the warrenty that would have expired next week 

- Loose bolt caused by vibration somehow got in near the fly wheel assembly and got jammed in there and broke it to pieces.

All in all a good result, with a free repair and a weekend I couldn't got out to begin with, I didn't miss a thing. Saturday here I come, maybe thursday too.
