Pull Start Assembly Broke, looking for options

#1
My engine has the square piece that sticks off of the flywheel. Haven't been able to find a new part when looking. My tin is still good, just the plastic piece that connects split. Not too keen on the idea of spending $30+ on a whole tin when I don't need the whole tin.

Tried to 3D print a drill start piece, but it shattered on me. Making a new one, but the plan is to house it in a metal pipe so hopefully it doesn't explode on me again.

My cover looks like this one http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-5...0001&campid=5335845805&icep_item=113909968074

Wetzeb; Check out the link I posted below. It's for an outfit calling them selves "Jack's small engines", and it should display a page of drawings for an 8-horse, B&S, horizontal shaft engine from an older Coleman generator. I recently bought both the starter clutch, and the rope pulley in order to revive a generator. I can't guarantee that the square drive is correct for yours, but it might be a place to start looking.

love the pull rope!! that's what my first girl had!! lol never had to worry bout the recoil starting!! ps where did you get the sweet mikuni carb adapter??
The adapter is the stock briggs one that came on the engine. It is a 1995 I/C ball bearing engine with a 1975 blower housing and a 1955 pull start. I had to mod the carb to get it to fit.
