Good Move....Just curious.If the nut was rusted and not mating with the plate.was the plate lose? If so then this would still be the same as having no plate if its slipping feely,intermittent tight jerking with a pull back and give just after each compression stroke? The fact its better with no plug is a given..But if its tight still...hmmm...More info?But as Vc says Just put on another starter and check that way,but I doubt its that
....A Rotomo might be a better option for you they are great...start it by hand no worries!lols..Na Im just goofin
