Keeping this in consideration, why can't I pull the string on my lawn mower?
The crankshaft is connected to the blade shaft on your recoil start walk behind lawn mower, so if the pull cord is stuck, it could be because something is blocking the movement of the blade. Disconnect the spark plug for safety, then take a look under the deck.
Secondly, how does a recoil starter work? The recoil starter assembly on a lawn mower allows the operator to start combustion on the mower's engine. This starter assembly is a critical part to the mower, and without it the mower will not start. The recoil starter spins the flywheel and crankshaft fast enough to start the internal combustion.
Similarly, it is asked, what is a flywheel brake?
Flywheel Brakes. Flywheel brakes are used to stop the flywheel from turning when a clutch has been disengaged and the motor is shutdown. Typically, these brake systems are installed on stamping, forging and metalforming equipment. Flywheel brakes are required for presses due to safety regulations.
