Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Craftsman Lawn mower, craftsman lawn mower, keyway

Question
Jason,
I was mowing the lawn today and stopped to move some furniture out of the way.  When I tried to start (it's a pull start) the engine again...nothing happened.  I've had it about a year, and this has never happened.  always starts on the first pull. I cleaned the air filter, made sure the sparkplug connector was on tight.  But it was as though it had died.  Any ideas? Thanks, rich

Answer
Did you hit anything with it? I would have to think that the keyway broke? You would have to pull the flywheel to find out but if it broke it will be out of time and not start.Could be a coil,or numerous other things so good luck and I hope this helps.
