I have a 4hp Chrysler 42H4L the rope broke and to replace it was necessary to remove the inner disc from the outer housing, this is where my nightmare started. I have followed the instructions in the repair manual and I think just about everything else to again attach the spring which resides in the outer housing to the key way on the inner disc which retains the rope. If I could find another entire starter I would buy it, does anyone have a tip or suggestion as to how I may complete this assembly without a spring fling. Thanks

Thanks jerryjerry05 however the u-tube video's seem to be only for the recoil starters for the low profile motor covers with the starter mounted on the tiller side in front of the power head my 4hp has the starter mounted on top of the gas tank and as much as I hunt for a video of this type of starter there seems to be no one who has produced it yet. Thanks again
