As it goes the recoil assembly and handle are long gone. There is a piece of tube at the bottom of the engine that I think was the wire guide tube. There is currently no wire in evidence. I admit I did try the rubber mallet but something tells me there is something holding it all together.

Over all the engine is in hard, hard shape. It has convince me however that at some point I need one up and running and kind of want to see what parts I have.

More hammer?
