Also there are washers in the starter shaft made of friction material a bit like brake shoe material that need to be placed in the right order with the other washers in order for the starter pawls to extend fully each time the cord is pulled.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!

As MF said, file slots in the cup all the way around the inside of the cup about 10mm apart and it will fix the problem, starter will never slip again
