Ok, I googled the rope trick, seems like a reasonable option. In the dim and distant past, when chainsaws were the tool I earned my living with, I was taught to use the starter cord in the same way to lock the crank so you could undo the clutch.
Next question then, what sort of spring compressor do I need? The ones I've used in the past have gone on each end of the valve, if you know what I mean. Clearly this won't work with the rope trick.
Also, has anyone on here actually done this on this specific engine? I'd like somone to say there's definately enough space to do the job.
