Flying machine prime pump to continue running

Hello, I have a 200cc 2 stoke using a Walbro WB that will
only cold start when I pump the primer bulb until the engine warms up. After the engine warms up a bit, it runs very well and starts without a hitch. The fuel line is good as well the primer. Carb is all sealed up no vacuum leaks. No blockage of the fuel passages. 
Thanks, Greg.

Hinda HS828

Good afternoon. I have a honda HS828. It will not start(pull start only). I shoot it with starting fluid and it runs excellent. Carb has been cleaned twice. Valves checked for proper adjustment. I am at a loss.

Need help diagnosing mower issue. Lx279 John Deere.

I've got an LX279 John Deere. (Engine KAWASAKI FD501V)
That won't start. The (gear) in my New Starter Motor won't connect to my flywheel gear ~ to turn my mower over.
Things to note: I have to wedge needle nose plyers against my Ground terminal and Positive Terminal on my starter soulinoid, to make the gear in my starter motor spin.
My ECU does not light up unless I do this ;along with my other
Idiot lights. ( Don't know what that's about)
My ignition Boxes both have two exposed wires
( See picture below.)

Really I don't know or understand what's up with my mower.
I'll submit pictures that way, my problem is more clear.

Messed up pull start & flywheel bolt- Toro 36 Mower & Kawasaki Motor

Bad day for me & the mower-
 
My pull start broke, so I took it off & restrung it. For some reason, I can't line the holes up on the assembly, I am assuming because I rotated the flywheel.
 
I couldn't find a video that says how to put the pull start back in
 
I still needed to mow the yard, so I tried starting the motor with a drill & broke the flywheel bolt.
 
 
What do I need to do to fix this?
 
How do I line up the flywheel with the starting assembly & the bolt holes?
 
I also prob need a bolt extractor to get the broken bolt out of the flywheel. It's going to be tuff, because i tightened the hell out of it before i broke it. 
 
 
I attached photos. Please let me know what i can do to fix this situation 
 
I put detailed photos
 

Hydro Gear ZT-3400

How do you remove the tube charge triple O ring Part#54501 from the aluminum housing inside.  They are loose and they spin but I have no way to grab ahold of them to pull them out to finish the tear down of this pump.  Any advice would help.  Thanks in advance.  

Ignitiion Coil / Module for Poulan 3000 - Part # 530039128

Trying to find a replacement coil/module for this saw.  Does anyone know if there is a replacement available?  Everything I look at indicated the part is no longer produced.  Surely there is an aftermarket replacement or something that will work?

VMK9 Suzuki 5GTS Coil

Hello all, I'm lucky enough to own one of the Toro 26624 models with the 4 stroke engine.  I suspect I have a coil issue and wonder if someone can tell me what are the acceptable ohm readings (meter set at 20k) for the ignition coil for this particular engine code.  Thanks.

Homelite Pressure Washer Smoking

This may be a little lengthy so I apologize in advance.
 
I have a Homelite UT80522G pressure washer that Stopped running so I picked up a replacement carb for it. After replacement, it would run for a very short period of time and then die. It was pouring fuel out of the exhaust. I figured I had a defective carb. It sat for a while and I just got around to ordering and replacing the carb again. Once I got the new carb on, I tried to start it and I couldn't get it to turn over. It would hunt just a little bit, but that's it. Something told me to check the oil and when I open the oil cap, fuel poured out of the crankcase. I'm hoping the previous carb just let fuel pour back into the crankcase.
 
Anyway, I drained everything, added new oil, and tried to start it. She fired right up and was running great. I let it run for maybe 30-45 seconds and I noticed the the exhaust manifold was beginning to smoke badly. It wasn't smoking out of the exhaust like it was burning oil. It was more like there might have been oil/gas residue on the manifold and it was trying to burn it off. I immediately shut it down and checked the oil again and it didn't seem like there was fuel in the oil. I'm sure there's some residual fuel in there so the plan was to let it run for a little bit and then change the oil again.
 
Long story short, what should I be looking for here? Should I just go ahead and let it run to see if it burns off?
