Default RE: Help ! Engine going backwards !

I checked my engine first, took everything apart and reassembled the whole thing again. Didn't see anything strange. Then i tried it out, the engine started normally this time but now the pulling cord got stuck ! I couldn't pull the engine around at all. At first it thought it (don't know the word, but when the sleeve gets to tight by the heat so the cylinder cant move). But i didn't drive the car hard at all, just rolled around on the street outside my house. So the engine wouldn't move at all when i pulled the starter. Then i twisted the flywheel, and then i could pull the damn starter again. But after a few pulls it jammed. Just need to twist the flywheel a bit again, and the i was free to pull. I now realized that something was wrong with the pull start, i dismounted it and checked it out. Didn't see anything strange, the i looked closer on the bearing and on one place it seemed quite worn. Im going to get a replacer tomorrow. im just hoping this will be the end of all this =)

Thx so much for the help guys, really appreciate it !
