Can't run like that. One turn is 360 degrees, not a turn of the slot.

Do you mean 3/4 and 1 1/4 ??

Not a full 360 degrees. I did one slot. Problem solved. It was the coil for the pullstart. A member by the name rcgasser helped me threw this. Remove the pullstart and turned the motor the opposite way and it clicked and now turns over the normal way. I believe he said a spacer was knocke out from the recoil pack? Still investigating the spacer but it turns over like normal now

Ok is it loose? can you move it with your hand? Looks as if the spacers washer are there. Can you put a credit card between the coil and the flywheel>

Nothing fell out. No signs of scrapes or any thing of that nature. I put it back together. About to start her up now

Well it starts and all that shit so I guess it just got caught up with the pull start. Weird. But thanks for all your input
