what is this part and where to get one?

Check the pic for part number 43-803642T at Crowley Marine.
The spring should slid in and suit in the groove at the bottom of it.
If that groove is gone the gear will not work properly.
In your video it locks like it is working properly !!!!

thanks. I could not find this part number on their website though. Also, the choke knob, when out has the plate open, pushed back, it closes it. so I am not sure if choke is on when pushed in or pulled out. It started a total of 3 times 5 years back... I think using the rope around the flywheel directly.

Sorry wrong part number. Switched two numbers.
Right part number 43-803624T.

ok i see that it has a groove and another ring of plastic under it. I think mine is broken there, perhaps.

Ok I took another look and the white wheel seems to be ok. Groove with metal in there.

It looks like it is okey.
Nothing wrong with it.
As I said before, from you video I do not see anything wrong.
It seams like it is working properly.
When starting you have to pull the cord rapidly in the beginning with this Bendix gear typ recoil starter.

I can start snow blower, generator, and of course lawnmower, but not this one. Not enough spin with the rope. It has 2 new plugs. I assume choke control should be in the out position?
