I have a Honda gx 390 that sat for a few years unused. Now when I try to start it [recoil start] it kicks back so hard it yanks the starter rope out of my hand. It did start once and ran fine. I have checked the flywheel key and it is fine. I have checked the valve clearance and its as it should be. More @Wikipedia
