i put the spring in the right holes for starters, but i had to twist and strighten the link govener so that the loop was facing toward the engine, the spring was getting stuck on the throttle mechanism and the starter cover. then i adjusted the mixture screw and the idle speed.
Also had to get some washers for the carby screws, they kept shaking loose so it was sucking air through there as well.
now it starts on the 3rd or 4th go and doesnt stop or loose power when i engage the blades or the roller. Its a bit much to ask it to start on first considering the tiny amount of pull the start has, besides the fact that its 35 odd years old.
