I was only curious if there can be a "timing" issue between the flywheel and pull cord. I'm getting the "cord trying to rip my arm off" after I pull it out about 2 feet by completely stopping. If I pull the s*it out of it, the engine will turn over. It is a Troy-bilt mower with a Honda engine. The flywheel key is not the problem, I already checked it. When I disconnect the spark plug wire, tilt the mower back, and disengage the brake, I can get 2 revolutions with turning the blade by hand, but then I get two short spots with a lot of resistance. Then after those short spots, i can get 2 revolution, etc...same process repeats. I still get the same resistance when the spark plug wire is disconnected and I pull the pull cord like normal from behind the mower. Could it be something in the engine?

"Dave, you must be happy that there are people that will stick there neck out that right plants names will be used"... I post photos of my conifers for discussion..There is a lot to be learned by doing this...not only for myself but for others also. I was never aware there was so much confusion regarding plant names. Now I am more confused then ever. What's going on here??? Sometimes I want to argue the point because I can't believe that there is a total disregard for a nursery/grower to misrepresent a what he is selling. Getting back to my cultivar Cedrus libani 'Whatever it is called'...my conifer has an occasional horizontal branch. All others with a little length will become pendulous. None of the branches have a tendency to kick up and become vertical in growth like the one in the Iseli photo. My plant in no way shape or form resembles that plant. It is planted on the North side of the house with nothing between it and the North Pole. Lowest temperature it has been exposed to is -12F.(-24.44C.). Unusual in itself that it survives and is doing well. Anyway the discussion has been interesting with all the different ideas as to what it really is. Dave

Great. Actually I broke the one I have up into about 10 smaller pieces to put in different places to see where it will grow best. It did look to me that it was a bunch of individual plants grown together (I think I will look for the spiralis in the future.) And will this be a perennial?

You can always use the keyboard if this happens again. Just press the Alt key and while holding it down, press the left cursor arrow.
