Thanks, Frank! I’ll be heading down to the shop momentarily to give it a look and start the clean-up process.

Changing gears a bit, I noticed the recoil pawls have scraped the top of the flywheel ever so slightly. The recoil itself seems to be working as it should, so do I possibly need to shim it up ever so slightly with some washers?

Man, these motors sure give your shoulder a work out trying to start them.
