Pulled motor to bits for a refresh.
The dog on the internal end of the kicker shaft next to the helical gears has worn through the casing making contact with the first gear cog on the output shaft.
Is this a common fault?
Was thinking of having case welded to plug hole and dog built up with weld to make it good.
What is the usual deal with this?
Junk?
Was also thinking of getting another bottom end but how likely am I to come across the same problem?
Cheers in advance.
