A word of caution, You may have observed that the rewind starter pawls on the flywheel protrude at rest. They engage projections on the bottom of the rope sheave. They rarely line up properly. Attempting to tighten it with the projections against the paws may bend the pawls or loosen the posts the pawls pivot on. Pulling the rope out and letting it retract after gently placing the starter housing on the motor will encourage it to drop properly into place. Also because of variations in producing the various componants (Holes are always slightly oversize) you must always check to be sure the starter is exactly centered over the crankshaft. The center bolt of the starter is hollow and a pointed alignment rod is placed through it to engage the top dead center in the top of the crankshaft. The hole in the housing is large so the center bolt may be shifted to center the rope sheave. . . 😉
