Carburetor Assembly
The internal float needle has failed to seat, allowing gravity-fed fuel to flood the cylinder. This creates a hydrolock condition where the piston cannot move through its stroke because gasoline cannot be compressed, effectively locking the engine rotation and the pull cord.

Recoil Starter Assembly
The internal drive pawls or the recoil spring mechanism have likely suffered a mechanical jam or structural deformation. This prevents the pulley from rotating independently of the engine's internal state, resulting in a pull cord that cannot be extended from the housing.

Spark Plug
If the engine is hydrolocked, the spark plug must be replaced after the cylinder is evacuated, as the ceramic insulator and electrodes are often fouled or saturated with fuel, preventing proper ignition once the mechanical lock is cleared.
