can't pull rope
Original Message Feb 8, 2014 4:27 pm

my simplicity pro was running great last week, and now won't start. i cannot pull the starter rope unless i remove the spark plug. i took apart the carb bowl, removed the float and needle and sprayed with carb cleaner, re-assembled, no better. i squirted some gas in the cylinder, replaced the plug, no difference. it has electric start, i have popped the GFCI several times at the outlet. not sure what to do next!

Nice Work!!!... I would recommend u get a gasket for the carb bowl lol..
