I went to pull start the small 1 cylinder vac engine for my TracVac and there was a very loud raddled as it started then died. On pulling the cord there was no resistance. I removed the cover and a small cup like devise was loose as well as the centering holding bolt. I tried several simple re installations but to no avail. Then the recoil spring shot out of its holder and the rest was ...I quit
Unfortunately on previous posts, I have not been able to identify the engine but with several members help it is most likely a Kawasaki type. One has to use 50:1 oil mix fuel and she has run sweet since. On the inside cover of the coil housing it it MADE IN JAPAN ..SKK..
Question: how does one rewind the recoil spring? Are there professional secrets?
Photos of the engine etc attached.
Thank You
