Thanks Monte, Tubs and BobW. The new o-ring is installed. I broke down and got a couple BRP o-rings instead of guessing what I needed. Now I have an OEM to use to find future correctly sized o-rings.
Question for today: Had to put in a new pull cord, which seemed to work but when checking for spark something in the recoil let loose. I’ve never opened one before, but I was hoping to get this motor running for this weekend. The attached pic is what it looks like now. The inside catch loop (for lack of correct terminology) had to be bent into this position. The part of the coil spring at the serial # was actually bent to the other side of the starter pulley center and the catch loop was pointing in the other direction. BTW, it wasn’t quite that clean when I opened it up. Do I continue to bend it tighter to the center to get it to line back up with the starter pulley pin on the spinning part? I am assuming that it should look like the second pic attached from a YouTube vid. I can’t think of how else to get it to align with the starter pin but I don’t want to bend it too much.
Thanks, for any hints.
