Hey Guys, long time no post.

Any of you remember my old Tecumseh wind up mower? Its been sitting under my garden shed bench for over 12 months and i cant get the thing to start up, it sounds like the wind up starter isnt gripping anything. The cup that normally has ' teeth ' on it is completely smooth.

How do the wind up starters work if the cups are smooth?




Cheers Josh
