It appears that the two ratchet pawls had some wear on them. Trying to start the pressure washer would act as if the rope broke.
1. Removed all the extra sheetmetal from the top end of the engine. (2) Removed the rope and spring assy and examined the pawl and pawl plate.The rope was not broken so I placed the new pawls and the pawl plate and also the new "C" ring. (3) replaced the spring assembly and readjusted the rope and fired it up. Starts and runs like it used to. I have to say what made this job an easier job then I thought it would be, was reading a ton of the trouble reviews so that I already had some idea what to expect. This was the first time I did this kind of repair.
