Recoil start help

Help!!! Is this the right way for the ratchet??

Does not look right to me. The pawl shouldn't stick out like that when installed. .... Or is the spring not installed?

I'm just going by your picture. So I if I'm wrong hopefully someone chimes in.

When u pull the rope does it work correctly?

That's what I was thinking but yes the spring is installed. When I push it in it stays in until I give it a tug then it pops out just fine. Then when I push it back in, like it would go in when it hits the cage when the cord is retracting, it stays in.

Looking at the wear patterns on it this seems to be the only way. Anyone else have thoughts??

Looks like the wire on your spring is on the wrong side of the dog. should be pushing the dog back in.

Thank you for posting your link. I have rebuilt several and have a manual. With the same breakdown as the one in your write up. But....I don't think it's a very good breakdown.

It just didn't seem right and I couldn't quite remember/figure out why it wasn't quite right....had the spring backwards on the pawl. Like rock picker pointed out.

Thanks again for all the help guys!
