You may have to replace the one way bearing. Cleaning it usually resolves this problem, but if the thing is toast...it's time for a new one.

Both are one week old(w/t less than 1gal fuel)

Thanking about a starter box .Screw the p.o.s pullstarter.

Wow! At that age, they shouldn't be messed up. Your question on the oil percentage comes into a new light. I would say that it is possible, but I have not heard of this kind of issue.

Is it cold when you try to start it. I know when I first try to start mine with the ps it slips until it gets warm, just a thought.

Funny you should say this. I have a friend that bought a few of these last X-mas. BIG MISTAKE IMO. His luck at these things suck. He has one with a blown motor. no less then HALF a GALLON. The LHS said his motor had low compression. Till now he sent it in to the company and no response yet. His other ones are catching dust. Anyways to help you I was suggesting that you try to replace the One way. The pull start shou not slip at this age so to speak. BTW what fuel are you using? percentage?
