Too much compression, breaks ropes
Flywheel key has broken,allowing it to advance the spark,so its firing before top dead centre,thus breaking the rope.renew the key and retighten nut very tight
Mcculloch 280B gas blower has compression, fuel, ignition, won't start
Remove all fuel. Remove spark plug. Dry out the crankcase and cylinder by pulling the starter several times.
Reinstall spark plug. Remove air filter, hold throttle open and spray a short burst (~1sec) of starter fluid down throat of carburetor. Release throttle and promptly pull starter rope up to 5x.
If it fires and runs a few seconds then it is a fuel/carburetor problem.
If still no fire then more likely a spark or compression problem. Replace spark plug with new proper type and gap. Retry with starter fluid. If still no run then likely either a failed ignition module or poor compression/crankcase leak.
