Alright...got it.
Another question, the
manual shows an 'Assist spring' between the clutch assembly and the windings. As you can see from my previous pictures, mine did not have one on it.
Was this something left out by a prior rebuilder? Is it a critical piece?
The rebuild kit had a thin plastic washer that the instructions show going on before the clutch assembly, but on mine, it would not fit over the helical section so I could not put it there.
Is this another 'multi-use kit' kind of problem, or do I need to try to source another starter for parts?
Thanks for your time,
Jim
