I have a Cubcadet walk behind mower with a knock off china type Honda motor.
It kicks back when trying to start. I checked timing, adjusted valves, and the blade is tight. It feels like the compression release isn't working, but it is opening the exhaust valve, I checked it. I had another mower with the same engine, same problem and adjusting the valves worked for it. It's not working for this one. The only insight is the manual says to pull the rope slowly until it's on compression then pull rapidly. This works to start without kick back, but it still feels like the compression release isn't releasing. I read some forums with other people having the same problem so it seems common and I hope someone has a solution. Has anyone had this problem and found a solution? It's a Model 898720 11a-18mz256 173cc 11070fua0609193a264 6.75 HP OHV
Thanks
