There’s not enough drag on the dog plate to cause it to ride up the ramps
to engage the flywheel. Can’t find any diagrams on the rewind or magneto.
There was a small spring under the big nut when I took it apart. Didn’t
look like it belonged. Tried other springs, rubber grommet, etc. to induce drag,
to no avail. If a too long or spring with too much tension is used, it raise
the dog plate up the ramps, without pulling on the rewind rope.
Photos and a couple of short videos to show how it works.
Ideas welcomed, and parts diagrams or photos of the guts of an actual
working rewind would be cherished!
Thanks.

I think I have it fixed now.
I noticed the bolt had been re-peened and had non-factory looking punch marks.
I wasn’t sure if the plate was loose on the pin, or if someone had it apart before.
I had to grind the end of the pin off to get it out of the plate. Once apart, I discovered
there’s a copper clutch band that provides the needed friction on the dog plate.
I made a new pin and the old one was too short to re-peen once I got it out.
Then bent the clutch band tighter and reinstalled everything. I tested it out
on the motor, and it seems okay so far.
Took the rewind back off as I need to peed the pin tomorrow, and paint the rewind.
I’ve never seen this type of rewind before.
Prepare to be boarded!
