sounds like your engine is worn out, how old is it?

...or the one way bearing in the pull starter is dirty. If the engine is running fine I say its the bearing. Take it out and soak it with nitro cleaner, then wd40 then grease her up. Also clean the inside of the pull starer with nitro cleaner. Should start fine after that.

i noticed that when i opened up the opening behind the air filter that allows the engine to take in air allitle more than it would start up easier, but then when i started it it would start running instead of staying stationary.
