Okay for some reason i thought this cup was smooth, must of been one of the many other mowers i have had. Anyway here are some pics and a very short video.

The teeth on the cup dont look to bad, i'm beginning to think its the arms in the starter mechanism itself just arnt coming out far enough to grab them maybe?

I know the mower isnt much, but it ran like a dream and cut the lawn like no other mower i have had. So i would like to keep it going and one day give it a new lease on life.

The next task is finding a catcher for it!
