My tiller needed a belt adjustment after sitting all winter. It started up after only 2 pulls and ran great. I moved it to where I was going to work on it and loosened the motor mount bolts to adjust the tension on the belt.
I did lay the tiller on its side so I could get to one of the bolts easier. After finishing and turning the tiller upright I tried to start it to see if this fixed the problem. What I found was that the engine would not turn over. The pulley coming from the engine would only turn 1 1/2 revolution then the engine would get hung up.
I have looked and even took the engine pulley off. Nothing is binding so it must be from the engine itself.
Not sure where I should go from here or what happened to the engine to cause this except laying the tiller on its side.
Any help would be great.
