Good idea on the starter shaft! I will first replace just the rear nut eccentric washer and see if that works. Now for the bigger problem;

Upon further inspection, the front area (bolt head-side) "u weld" that the eccentric washer turns against is worn down and the eccentric washer does not catch and turns over it. Is it possible to build it back up by welding? JB Weld?

Thanks
