Hi All,

Just picked up a reasonably new 5HP BF5A, It runs very well, and started up with no problem, but the plastic starter wheel seems to have too much play and floats up into the teeth of the of it's metal counterpart onto the motor, this creates a loud rattle and I imagine will break the plastic wheel at some point. What might cause this? The nut on top of the assembly is tight and I cant see where to batten this thing back down so it has less play.
