Not to get too far off topic, but here's a small engine repair tip depending on the size of small engine (I wouldn't try it with a cub sized motor for instance)... If you're trying to diagnose a no start rip it down far enough that you can put a drill with a socket on it to crank it over for you. This is especially useful for diagnosing push mowers since, as you said, you can't see the plug when pulling the cord. It also helps to take the blade off so you don't beat your drill to death or cut your toes off. Be prepared to yank the drill off of it in a hurry should it happen to start up. I always use a 1/4" -> 1/2" socket adapter when doing this in the hope that they adapter would break before my wrist or drill if it DOES happen to take off. Try it at your own risk, I guess!

Dang this has more warnings then most of those drugs you see commercials on TV!
"When working on your engine try our new drill and socket method!"
Fine Print
"May remove toes if not setup correctly"
"Wrist injury could occur if engine starts"
"Please see your mechanic to find out of this approach is safe for you"
