I've just rebuilt one of these that had been sitting for 20 years and it is running well, but I have a problem with the recoil starter. Only about 1/3 of the height of the starter pawl engages with the flywheel, so it has worn away that area. I've fixed it temporarily by shaving the top of the pawl and putting a washer underneath, and ordered a new pawl.
Has anybody found a way to adjust the height of this mechanism so the pawl more fully engages?
