Hi All,

This mower has been faultless except for a very very low idle speed. So, i tweaked that a little by removing the starter and ever so slightly playing with the spring. Great, it worked well , yet not overrevving or getting too hot.

Now, ive some how managed to stuff up the pull starter. When i replaced the unit and started it, it made a god almighty sound like the shaft was spinning inside the white plastic starter. I removed the unit and its chewed out a fair bit of plastic. The pull cord didnt appear to retract well either until i had removed the starter housing from the motor.

Does anyone know if just replacing this piece would suffice and why this occurred in the first place?

Does anyone know the part number for this?

Thank you
Kris
