Now we are cooking. First of all, you have a mismatch between the recoil starter type and the recoil item that is on the engine. The starter part that is bolted onto the engine as shown in your post #4, photo 4, requires the recoil starter as shown in photo 1 of post #4.
Here is a photo of a screen shot from a video, note that the recoil start item on the engine is a cup type;
If you want to use the recoil housing that you have, then you need to get this cup style item for the engine.
