Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): stihl MS250, starter cord, exhaust port


Question
i replaced the clutch on my saw and put some rope in the spark plug hole to lock it so i could undo the nut holding the clutch on     now the starter cord wont turn the motor    what has happened   phil

Answer
  Hard to say without looking at it, did all of the rope  come
back out, a piece could have gotten pinched and cut and wedged
in one of the ports.  You might pull the muffler and take a peek and look at the exhaust port, also make sure the washer under the clutch
is on the correct way.
