Craftsman/Roper 917353760

So have had this saw for a while. Came in extremely hard to pull
over. Discovered the problem was the RCJ6Y plug that was in it,
piston was contacting the plug, closed the gap right up. No
damage to piston, engine turns freely with no plug.
Looked the correct plug up on Sears, CJ6. So, here is the
question, is the CJ6 plug a shorter reach than the RCJ6Y? Near
as I can figure it must be, but I don't know.

The only difference was the extended tip.

Thanks, 660, the saw had a 'Y' plug in it, wrong! Correct plug
and it started in three pulls! Great it is outta here! Although
it is the hardest 60cc to pull over that I have ever run into! I
don't think the old guy who owns it will be able to get it
started.

Those have an undersized pulley making it harder than it needs
to be. Look for a decomp. valve under the fast idle button.
