A lot of times the 2 fiber discs are greasy and need to be cleaned and use sandpaper to rough it up. This saw is on the shelf for a bit. Everything worked ok once I swapped out the starter assembly. I’m not at all experienced with these old starters. I will have a better look at it again soon. That saw is going to get a complete overhaul and paint.

I'm quite familiar with both starter types so if you need help.

I had to pull another starter assembly apart yesterday,I'd suspected it had a broken spring & after pulling it apart sure enough the rewind spring was broken.When I first took the pawl assembly apart I could see that whoever had the recoil apart before I did put it back together the wrong way & I suspect that's what broke the rewind spring.They had the 2 fiber washers on first,then the small brake spring,then the pawl assembly,then the large washer,then the E clip.The small brake washer should've been the first thing on then the 2 fiber washers,etc.,etc..I must've done close to 15 of these starters this yr.(2020).

Depending on the setup the fiber will go 1st then the pawl then last fiber a washer spring lg washer and e-clip. I've seen some with and without the metal washers. Make sure you rough up the fiber disc so it will actuate the pawl. 9-metal washer 10- friction disc 11-pawl 12-spring 13-lg washer 14-e-clip

This is a very similar recoil setup used on Rotax Ski-Doo engines from the 70's. They used one friction washer on the top and it was metal. Used to find those pawl assemblies in wrong also. Maybe Rotax "borrowed" the idea.

The design is Fairbanks-Morris not Homelite so it was on a bunch of pullstart equipment. I've never seen just metal because it doesn't provide the friction to move the pawl, maybe it was assembled incorrectly.
