Wood chipper jammed pull cord
Wood chipper jammed pull cord
I just bought a used but supposedly brand new wood chipper. It’s a champion 338cc, upon inspection it looked like it had never been used, gas tank and oil compartment looked completely untouched. I added fuel and oil, gave it a few small pulls, then tried a couple harder pulls. After 6 pulls or so the pull cord jammed. The flywheel is fine, if I take it off I can pull it no problem, but there’s some sort of jam in the engine. (The blades are not jammed). If I put a lot of pressure on the cord I can eventually get it to pull but I noticed it shoots gas out the exhaust and/or carbeurator and there’s also gas puddles in the air filter
