Hey MF,
No, its the throttle cable tension that seems to be the problem. It wont let the control go back to 'stop'. And it is very stiff.
The starter rope won't retract, so I will need to get into the guts of the starter and I am guessing from what I read in the gregorys, reattach the starter spring to its catch inside the starter unit.
The catcher is in decent nick. No cracks or holes, it attaches to the mower well. Just a little bit of damage on the lower lip, but I am guessing this affects a large percentage of these catchers. So long as I am not brutal with it, it should keep on doing its job for many years.
