Pull the spark plug then yank it.

If it's still still stuck take the flywheel shroud off and try hand turning the flywheel... if the engine doesn't turn that way you've wrecked it and need to replace it.

If not for your gross mechanical incompetence I'd say rebuild it.

Agreed! There have been multiple posts on the same subject at least a couple of times.
Advice and information just evaporate into cyberspace, when given.
There was the gravity feed gas tank fiasco just a few weeks ago.
The grammar is horrible, making reading difficult.
l'm all for helping, but sometimes its a lost cause.

You didn't make anyone mad or angry, (cept maybe RAT) frustrated would be a better description. You are hard to communicate with and your comprehension of basic mechanics makes the communication more difficult.
You have been given the best advice we have based on the information you provide. Nobody has a crystal ball to see what you are dealing with. We are happy to help but give us something to work with, maybe even an acknowlegement that you received and understand. You don't even need to say thank you, but let us know if it even makes sense to ya.
AND please only one thread per problem.

Rat is mad but that's different than angry, Denny will get his meds adjusted....

Sorry guys I’m a little out of sorts. My mom died 2 weeks ago. Just got back from Tulsa OK.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a loved one is incredibly difficult, and it's understandable that you're feeling out of sorts. If there's anything specific you need or if you want to talk about it, please feel free to reach out. Take care of yourself during this challenging time.

I've stated what you need to do to diagnose and potentially correct the issue more than twice. I get real irritated when the correct answer has been given and ignored, more than once and I am less inclined to play nice... I don't usually play well with others as is.
