  • / TroyBuilt Rototiller Horse Model with Briggs 8 hp engine.
I recently acquired a TroyBuilt rototiller. Horse model.
Has electric start as well as the rope start.

B&S engine model. 195437015001 79022312

I am having a problem, getting the rope start mechanism to function properly. Bought new starter pulley and rope.
Old pulley was broken prior to my ownership. Previous owner removed the rope start pulley and parts for it. These were passed on to me.

Since my new pulley and rope were installed, when extending the rope, pulley will hang up at certain positions.
I am not sure I have the parts installed correctly. I will include some pictures, perhaps some one will be able to tell me if anything is not installed correctly. I have the small coil spring between the sheet metal housing and the small round adapter. Adapter then fits into the near side of the pulley. It is possible I could have the adapter backwards?

Should there be movement of the pulley, in and out while mounted in the starter housing? What is the purpose of that small spring?
I did look up the parts diagram for this engine, but was unable to tell how these small parts should be installed.

Watched some U Tube video's, but did not see any rope starters like mine.

Not pictured is the small spring.

Thanks
