Banshee Scream when Pull Starting
I needed to mow some around where I recently moved a shed, so I pulled out the Push Mower, checked the oil, added gas, and proceeded to pull start. When it started it let out a Banshee Scream and started spitting the pull rope out. Not good.
To correct the problem...
1. Pull the plug wire off.
2. Removed the top.
3. Wraped the pull rope back around the pully making sure to keep the spring tensioned.
4. Pried up the top of the pull start clutch and added a few drops of oil.
Note: if the ball bearing come out, remove all of then then insert the clutch ratchet then add the balls back in.
5. Unscrew the clutch ratched from the engine shaft (this is the sourse od the squeel) and oil. There is a pin hole in the top, but mine is probally pluged.
6. reassemble.

I'll try this the next time I "pop the top" Total time to do this was 10 minuets.
This is my hinze 57 mower, a conglomeration of parts from other mowers that just happened to fit together
It runs well, no smoke, and can cut the thick stuff with minimum effort.
I have a troy built tiller that started doing that this fall
Well, you have two methods that should solve the problem. Let us know which you use and the results.I have a troy built tiller that started doing that this fall
I just thought I would post this as it seems common on the older style pull starts.
