Bucc, I believe you can just take the four screws out of the two saddle clamps and it should release the whole recoil starter, but you’ll have to clamp the spool that the rope wraps around so it doesn’t try to recoil the rest of the rope and unwind the spring, I use one of those hand clamps directly on the rope spool ! Those little 7 1/2’s are great running engines and pretty powerful for their size ! Good luck with your project !
