Hi Chris and ODK members,

Yes, That's right.
There was no lever to release.

p.s. These impulse starters were very reliable but were replaced by
the trip lever design after just a couple of seasons.

The anecdotal evidence is that this was because there was a safety concern that
a repairer of the starter would not read the spring casing's instructions -
that the spring should NOT be removed from its casing.

The new trip lever design was repair-friendly; in that the spring could be
safely removed from its alloy enclosure for replacement.

All very interesting.
