Starting handle wont go in square.

I had a similar issue with my 29 and blamed it on an aftermarket spring under the front engine mount - turned out the bushing bracket was on backwards and the locating pin was not symmetrical for some unknown reason. Once I flipped the part around and replaced the J. C. Whitney parts it lined up fine.

same thing I had on my sons 29 and the 30 I've been redoing

I think my problem is more about me not slotting the crank handle in carefully enough after having a go at it today. But my after market handle isn't made of the strongest metal in the world! Sure the original ones had to be stronger than mine. That pin on the end is wearing away.
 
Maybe get some assurance from a person with a little more knowledge of the crank and procedure. Seems like you might be a newbee! Wayne.
