Mend Craftsman Eager-1 Tecumseh Engine Repair

how can i fix my craftsman eager-1 lawnmower Ser #143.996510?

I have a craftsman eager-1 lawn mower ser # 143.996510. I believe that it is a 6.5HP tecumseh engine.
It will not start and whenever I pull the starter cord it will create a sharp kick back as if the engine is trying to go backward.

That is one of two things.
The flywheel key may be partially sheared. That is usually caused by hitting something hard with the blade.
The second possibility is the blade could be loose. The weight of the blade is part of the flywheel action for the engine. If the blade bolt is loose, or if the blade adapter is worn it will do exactly what you describe. In either case, do not try to start the engine until you get it fixed. It can kick back hard enough to break bones.
