Generator Difficult To Pull, Becomes Easy When Plug Is Removed by Ayemileto(m): 1:26pm On Sep 05, 2020
Good day everyone.

My Tiger generator (the medium yellow type with big coil) has refused to start up.

The battery is damaged, so I have to pull manually.

From what I notice, it is very difficult to pull, but once I remove the spark plug it becomes very easy. Immediately I connect the spark plug back, it becomes difficult once again.

I read online that it's a simple issue, and tried some solutions suggested but it didn't work out.

I know we have experienced people here who can provide me with vital information on what is wrong and the solution, and I will really appreciate it.


Thanks in advance.

Valve timing issue.

A good Gen Mechanic should know what to do.

Thanks bro.

But i adjusted the valves yesterday, after which it worked for sometime before stopping.

Although I noticed the valves don't press down as they should. But if I make the valves any tighter (so the valves can press down more), there won't be any clearance where necessary.
