i have posted this on the honda part , but didn't get a reply, maybe someone over here can help, i have a honda 250 trx 2001, the pull cord makes a rattle continuosly, so i removed it to have a look, and the tooth is loose , so i assume there should be a spring or something to hold it together which i am sure costs a fortune and 4 hours labour to rebuild, anyhow, my question is, does it do any damage to drive it with the pull cord assembly removed, , thanks for the help
