Never mind, I figured it out. I didn't put enough spacers on the motor mounts.

I got a new Honda GX35 mounted to a friction drive. When trying to pull start
it for the first time, the rope will not pull, for the lack a better way to describe it. Are these motors suppose to be hard to start the first time? I pulled off the rope pulley and it seems to work fine but when attached back on the engine it won't turn. Is something I can fix or will I have to return the engine? Thanks.
