Having got the nose cone off for other reasons I'm having a look at getting the starting handle to sit at 9.00 o'clock rather than dangling at 6.00 as it does at present. Surprisingly, the rebates for the peg are not destroyed completely, but the peg is 90° out. Solution is to grind a new flat for the starting handle cotter, but I think there should be something else in there to prevent the ingress of crud, which will make its way into the sump via the timing gear casing. I am loathe to put a felt pad between the spring and the nose cone as I can see it working it's way into the timing gear area. I am planning to get a suitable washer and put this up against the nose cone as a seat for the pad, but am starting to think I'm overcomplicating things.
What do others do to sort this?
