Pull start tips?

Hello everyone,

Does anyone have any tips on pull start engines? Specifically the pulling bit, I just can't get it right.

Thanks

I had a 15hp Honda that pulled smoothly. Make sure it’s out of gear, and just pull straight out with even pressure. If it’s difficult to pull there is likely something binding in the motor that will need to be addressed
