i have a Tecumseh 6 hp hor. with a starter pull problem. when pulling the rope, it has to be pulled sharply to get it to catch to turn over the engine. what exactly should i look at replacing and is this one of those that i can take apart or will i have little parts scattered everywhere. just doing a little recon before i open it up. i would like to get this fixed to see if it will start or not, and then go into the carb and clean it out. it is on a old sears craftsman garden tiller (8 H.P. CHAIN DRIVE REAR TINE TILLER - 247299780) i am looking for a parts manual or a exploded view if someone knows where to get one. i downloaded the one from sears but i am looking for better pics if possible.
