Thank you for your video, very helpful. I took mine apart and the brushes look good, but there was a piece of soft metal (lead type) mangled up but flat loose inside. It was about the size of a silver dollar. Removed that and put it together and started right up. Any ideas???
so my pull cord, with this same model, is also stuck and the last time I successfully started it I heard a knocking before it started. Im thinking I have the same issue. Did you hear knocking too?
