It looks like it cross-references to a Troy-Bilt TB320BV

Does anyone know what series engine this is and where I can find the service manual (or do these smaller 2-cycles not have service manuals, unlike the B&S I have worked on and was able to find easily)?

Long story:

• Pull-start mechanism went bad. Took the blower apart, and tried to repair it, but it failed again.
• Couldn't find the part (NLA) at the time, so it went into a storage box.
• PIcked project back up many years later. Found/ordered a complete replacement pull-start mechanism. Installed it. Seemed like it failed again immediately.
• I thought the new pull-start mech went bad, so I set the project aside (got an EGO to replace it but now want to have a leaf vacuum of sorts).
• Took it apart again and realized that I forgot to transfer the shaft spacer from the old pull start assembly given the failure was that the flywheel with integrated woodruff key sheared the key...
• I have a new flywheel on the way ($15) but before I put this back together, once and for all...

Questions:

• Torque value is for the crankshaft extension nut that the impeller bolts to
• Torque for the impeller bolt
• Loctite?

Thanks!
