New murray mower, Pull cord stuck.

The mower ran fine the first two times I used it, then the cord will not pull. I checked the blade and it was free. I took off the cowling and the cord pulled freely. I put it back together and nothing. After several attempts I got it to start.

But now it won't pull again. Any Ideas?

Oil/gas spitting out of vent hose on riding mower (yardman mtd)

yardman mtd 13.5 hp riding mower 13ac762f755 (2007'ish i think) Mower died when i engaged the blades, then it started smoking really bad. Looked and saw this hose was disconnected and it looked like oil was spitting out... the liquid looked a little blueish/gray instead of jet black, so maybe gas was part of it too? anyway i put the hose back on and turned it on... after about a minute, the oil started seeping out and then the hose popped back off and sprayed the oil everywhere. ive read that too much oil can cause this, but the mower does not have too much oil in it. here's a picture of the part, i think its called the crankcase vent hose? it goes into the bottom of the air filter.

Help! I have a Craftsman pressure washer model 580.752192. I can start it fine when there is no water pressure but when I turn on the water I can't even pull the starter cord. Any help would be greatly appreciated! New development: I started the washer and then turned on the water. It stayed running but I got no water out of the gun.Read More
