I was able to free up the piston and fix the wire(temporarily) and restart the engine. But, it took waaaaay tooooo many pulls to restart the engine.
After this last usage/restart(it ran GREAT & STRONG) but, it never started again. I did some checking/testing(not getting spark) and ultimately changed out the coil. It still won't start. Long story short, I bought a new blower!
Char Baby: sorry if you thought that comment was directed toward you! It was really aimed at the neg reviewers on the amazon link you posted.
Thank you Ryan.
