hi, so the crappy plastic pin on the starter claw keeps chipping, just when i got it running.. i removed the whole e start parts that go in between the engine and pull start. so i got the pullstart bolted streight to the motor. anyone know why it keeps chipping, if i put the pull start any closer it rubbs and does not retract the pull cord. and any further out it wont touch at all. oh and its a cateye

because youre missing the aluminum shim that goes between the starter housing and the e-starter or engine case

really? i got rid of it... so would it make a difference if i bouht the metal claw they got on ebay for like 7 bucks or do i still need that shim?
