I've taken the starter apart and there's just one pawl/dog. Is this right? There's no dog spring as in parts diagrams and the plastic housing has broken off which is molded to the rope pulley. I've looked on the Bay for Suzuki spares but there's not much about. So I reckon I need a new rope pulley and a dog spring.
Does anyone know a good place to source these parts?
Many thanks

Thanks for your posts guys and girls. I bought it for a good price on eBay with the look to sell it on at some point to make some dosh. Most second hand items are sold as seen. The guy seemed a really genuine seller and gave me a full demonstration when I picked it up. The recoil starter worked fine. I started it once when i got home and it was great but the second time I came to use it, a part inside the recoil must've snapped off or been weakened on the journey back home (bumpy roads on a trailer) For what I paid, it's not worth the fuel back to the seller and the hassle of arguing the point as it worked great when he showed me it.
I've sourced the Suzuki parts I need from Meetens in Gosport.
Thanks all.
