starting problems. when i pull starter rope engine hard to turn over, also engine kicks back and snatches starter rope out of hand. it does attemp to start.

The blade is loose, or the flywheel woodruff key has broken due to the blade hitting a solid object causing the timing to be out or the crank is bent - again due to an impact.
