    Yep Spur-gear

    they do make metal spur gears the problem with them though is that it makes other more expensive and harder to change parts the weak link in the drive train. instead of changing a 5 dollar spur gear, you would be changing 20 dollar clutch bells or gears in the tranny any time that something...

    Pull start?

    sometimes the one way bearing on the rotostart gets oils in it and slips. I would try taking it out and cleaning it with some brake parts cleaner and letting it dry. Brian
