Do the starters on both engines bind up?? The 57 (lower one) does appear to be out of whack…Alignment is controlled by the white aluminum center ring and the horizontal mount on the front of the powerhead. Everything will be out of whack if someone has dropped the engine and bent these components, or perhaps someone has pried on these parts while making previous repairs. You should be able to figure out which part is out of whack if the 58 model recoil works properly…Simple compare the parts side by side. Finally, I neglected to point out that the fuel tank itself helps properly locate the recoil. Perhaps the 57 tank is dented or distorted somehow…I guess I would start by putting the 58 tank onto the 57 to see if the flywheel still appears not level to the tank…
