well for your first problem with the hitting you need to take the head off and im sure you can get really thin little aluminum shims to go between them untill there is clearance unless you have a metal lathe then lightly chuck it up and shave a small amount off the bottom of the head where its hitting as for the second problem you might need to take the pull start apart and clean it or rewind it or its just broken, be verry careful the spring in the pullstart can come out and it makes a scary noise and flys around and can injure you... so be careful with it, oh and there verry hard to put it back in
