The rattle gun didn't look at that big nut on the blade plate.......I was going to take it to my tyre shop, hoping for a more powerfull rattle gun....
Screwed a piece of wood onto the plate with 3 roof screws... to get the plate to hold in place.... and put a pipe on my sidchrome socket handle.... I finally cracked....a bit of rust in two threads will do it.... slightly bent my sidchrome handle.....

Now I can take the motor off and take off the electric start. Took it apart, full of gunk..... all gears in tact, but the motor is frozen. Sprayed it blew it out and put some wd40 in to soak it .....

I want to free the rotor in the starter motor...... it will probbaly be OK, just needs a big cleanup.
Only problem it is a throwaway motor, with pressed down lugs to hold it together. I am going to have to prize them open......... I hate getting beaten by modern technology................. If I can't fix the motor, it will be a pull start......... but it will work.........
cheers
