0 Remove the pull start ass by removing the 4 socket head screws, this should allow you to see the 2 x starter pawls that are fixed to the flywheel with a screw in each. each pawl has a small specially shaped coil spring that holds the pawl in a position allowing the starter dogs to engage and turn the engine. 1. the pawls may be broken. 2. the return coil springs may be broken, often just the small part that hooks around to tension the spring.The springs can be purchsed for about@$3-50 When operating correctly, each pawl should snap back in to place when tested. By just putting the pull start into postion without fixing the screws, it will be obvious if you've got the pawls/springs working properly as soon as the start is pulled. good luck!
