Hey all, I'm posting this for my brother.... Earlier this season he posted that he was noticing a "rattle" inside the recoil housing..... It was an on-off rattle, usually only happening when it was cold.... Today he decided to pull the recoil off and this is what he found..... Enter pictures.....
Here's the "spring" side of the recoil housing.. Nothing out of the ordinary here... Seems all good.. Retainer is there, may be a little over-greased but who knows.....
You notice in this pic that there is unusual"scarring" on the leading face of the... um, don't know the technical name for it..... Something has to be wrong here, what could be making this markings, and two, where did it go?????
TA-DA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Found where the foreign material came from!!!!!!!! Apparently there are Screws holding the Mag housing (again, sorry for bad terminology) are backing out and rattling around in the MAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, wee found where it came from, now to find out where it went..... Time to pull MAG as there is no trace of it anywhere else......
BTW this is on a 2011SP..... Has NEVER been ripped into on that side..... Don't know if its a PDI (Pre Delivery Inspection) issue, I thought those screws would have had to have Loctite (and Young-Gun just tells me there are more than one backing out!!!!) and |Torqued to a specific rating.....
Anyway, to all XP-SP owners... Maybe take a look, see if things are looking all good.... Young-Gun NEVER EVER uses his MANUAL Pull-Start... He only noticed because it was rattling..... Your screws MAY NOT be backed out far enough to fall out just yet... YOULL NEVER KNOW UNLESS U TAKE A LOOK-SEE.....
There ya go,, Hope this Helps...
And Young-Gun, Your Welcome
