[QUOTE="CMOS, post: 399509, member: 15462"] Okay, starter has been pulled. See attached pic. As you can see the slot in the bottom Cup has been damaged. I am concerned if I simply straighten it out, the metal will be sufficiently fatigued that the spring will pull in again. --- Thoughts? Will I need to replace the Cup? Also some related questions: 1. [i]Other than the length of the pull cord being too short[/i], does the tension of the spring itself (after I wind it in) contribute in the problem of the spring getting pulled into the Cup? (I wound that spring pretty tight...) 2. What makes the Pinion gear lift up when the cord is pulled? I ask this because I noticed after the last time I fully assembled this and tried to start the motor, the pinion would spin but sometimes not lift up to engage the Flywheel. Some lubricant on the Pulley gear seemed to help, but not always eliminate this. Thoughts? Please give me your feedback so I know what I may need to order as far as parts. Thanks, CMOS [/QUOTE]
