I don’t know if you’ve taken this in to account, but this motor has the older starter that is harder to pull over.

I thought about that, but the rewind’s wire core rope is toast,
so I’ve only been pulling it via rope on the flywheel.
Even turning over the motor with a box end wrench seemed
pretty stiff.
Different impeller coming tomorrow, and as long as it doesn’t
make it pull over stiffer, I’m going with it…….. maybe it will
loosen up after it wears in a little!
