Maybe, but fuel directly into the cyl would probably still work better. Plus less time cranking it = less wear on the PS and less likely to score the cyl from all that cranking. But I could also be being paranoid

Yes very paranoid lol. Wouldnt hurt the cylinder a bit. As a matter of fact I dump gas down the carb on both my big saws to fire them up if they have been sitting for a while. And good job on the starter. Some times the simple solution is the best one ?

? Nope, just got frustrated and decided, you know what? Who gives a fek if it doesn't look as nice or whatever, not like my junk is a show truck or anything ?
 
If you do a tear down and have some extra cash I have an idea to clean up all those brackets under the starter. Adjusting the timing would be a bit more of a pain but I think it would be a little slicker. Get 2 slots machined on your big gear opposite of each other and tap the case (not the whole way through) for two short bolts. That would allow you to adjust the timing and keep the big gear held back without any brackets. Actually at that point the gear wouldnt need to be a gear anymore. Sorry for the crappy drawing
