2 stroke Generator problems.

I am having a serious issue getting a 2 stroke generator started. I got it started and ran it for about three minutes to test it. Then everytime I have tried to start it again I am encountering a problem with the pullcord. It gets about a foot of the way out and then violently jerks back into the spool, I mean to the point where it rips the thing out of my hands and leaves me literally bleeding.
I have the machine turned on, the choke correctly placed and I put in the right mixture of oil and gas. Any ideas what the problem is?
eta:
I can pull it out slowly, with serious effort at each "turn" but when I try to pull it fast the above happens.

Same thing was happening to me the other day. Forgot to put the plug all of the way in and I guess it couldn't compress liquid gas with no spark
So, check the spark
First, pull the plug out and let it sit for a bit. Try it again.

Fuel was squirting out of my exhaust. I felt like a tard when I realized I didn't clip the plug wire all of the way in. Damn thing started second pull
Been up working Calculus problems too long. I have a test Monday and am gonna be busy the whole weekend, so I am trying to get it done today and tomorrow.

Damn meauxjeaux good call
Pull the fly wheel off use valve grinding compound to lap the wheel on to the crank for a tighter fit replace key

Pull the spark plug and see if it is wet with fuel it might be flooding and hydro locking.
Or the woodruff key like MJ
said.
