How is the sprocket on the starter motor supposed to rise up and engage the motor?
I have this Toro mower and now for some reason, the sprocket doesn’t rise up to engage the motor when I try to start it. The starter motor still spins, but the sprocket is not spinning the motor because it is resting in its lower position.
I am just wondering if it is connected to the clutch or the brake, or if a spring is missing or broken, I am just not sure what the mechanism is to lift that sprocket up.
I am able to get the motor started by forcing the sprocket upwards with a screwdriver, but it is tedious each time I want to start the mower. Any help appreciated, thanks!
