Question
Run fine one day, the next it was hard to pull and would try to kick back, after investigating find a rod attached to the cam pulley was not returning to home position. If I pushed it back it would start easy everytime, but most time it does not return on it its own.  What is this rod for and how do I fix it?

Answer
Hello Jonathan:

Go to the Site Addy and Locate your Engine. Then Locate the Part you are Asking About and Send me the Information on Where to go to Look at the Rod in Question. You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Mower/Engine at this Site Addy, http://hayward.arinet.com/scripts/EmpartISAPI.dll?MF&app=ASP&lang=EN&TF=Mainfram... and Select the Catalog American Honda. Thanks.
