The recoil assembly is simply threaded on to the crank shaft. Get something to hold the flywheel (there is a special tool but you can use a piece of wood or if you are careful a big screwdriver) and un-thread it. Then you can dis-assemble it, clean the balls and lubricate it and throw it all back together.
I am assuming that this is your problem, either squealing when it runs or not engaging when you pull the rope. Both very common in the B&S engines and a very simple fix.[/quote:d5f55047b7]
This would pretty much be my problem to the T. It squeals for about 15-20 seconds after starting it...

This is also a possible route to go.

If you want you oil the inside of the ratchet with some ATF through the center where you see that little dot.
Also, this.
Thank you for the feedback all; I'll be tinkering with it this weekend and we'll see how I fare.
