Try running the mower at idle for a minute or so before shutting it off. Have a good one. Geo

If it has an anti backfire solenoid on the bottom of the carburetor, it may need cleaning or replacing. Doing as geogrubb suggests usually works too.

how to change flywheel "dogs" on Craftsman weedwacker model 31679197

L

Lennard Stancil on Jun 15, 2014

I have a craftsman 4 cycle weedwacker and the "dogs" on the flywheel (that engage the pull cord to start) seem to be rusted up and not engaging the pull cord to start. In the process of trying to loosen them up with WD40 and prying on them, I broke one of the teeth that the dog spring was attached to. How do I fix this? can just the dogs be taken off and changed? or does the whole flywheel have to be changed? Etiher one--- how to go about the removal? it seems like its going to be a whole flywheel change but cant figure out how to remove it..

Hello, I have a serious oil leak that appears to be coming from the bearing/seal behind the clutch PTO pulley. Does anyone know if the seal/bearing can be changed without taking the motor apart. Any help would be great.
