It can go that way. You may have to buy the gear box assy though. Maybe you will be lucky and the gears are serviced separately.

got the gear for $27.

Cool beans.

It has the Chinese motor. Spring for recoil is broke. I can get a B&S spring. Are they similar? Don't feel like paying $30 for recoil when a spring is $10, which is too much already. At least elec starter works. For now
pic shows a similar unit with the chinese motor and a b/s unit too

That is the Achilles heal of those engines- on anyone's equipment. The availability of individual service parts rather than components. I could have used a push rod guide for an MTD WPM a while back , but it came w/ a 100$ head..... I've bought the LCT recoil before, but am unsure on the spring. Honda ish?

my spring assy is the bottom pic. the spring has a wide/open hook on the inner section. you think i could use a cheaper spring and reform the inner loop by using a torch to heat the metal? of course the spring is $5 online with $8 shipping or buy it local for $10. i can get the proper spring/hub for $22 delivered.

I ordered the correct one today. Cyber Monday and all that. Same price as last week.

Nothing I wanted went down in price either. :) You would think that fancy brake rotors would be tops on Santa's list....

Try putting them in your shopping cart and then wait a few days.
I've had prices go down doing that.
IF they don't, empty the cart and wait a couple days.
"Shop" the parts again.
