If you pull the cord, can you spin it over easily? If yes, will it start?
The engine starts alright, it runs ok too, there’s some obvious damage due to heat and melting plastic. From what I can tell the clutch got hot and there is a chunk of metal that came off of it, I’m sorry I’m not the best tech guy it doesn’t want to upload pictures for me otherwise I could show you. Not entirely sure what caused all of the overheating.
