wee wacker?

The pull cord on my Echo weed wacker will not pull. It is possible, in fact most likely that I got oil in the cylinder head. Can this cause the problem ? How can I fix it ? thanks

If you have oil in the engine (somehow) you have a hydraulic lock....take the spark plug out, turn the engine upside down and allow the oil to drain. Crank the engine a few times to speed things along.
