Circlip has come off Juitz,l as you suspected when I was telling Ted to make sure to fit a new one.

Yep, confirmed.Found these treasures in the bottom of the sump
This is sub-optimal. Aside from the pain in trying to get the assembly back in without removing the engine. Can I just leave it as is and only use electric start.
This feels like a "next winter" job [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

I would make sure you have all the washers as well. One might be in the ratchet end

Yeah, Def a problem here as I'm missing the slotted thrust washer between the pinion spring and ratchet. Gonna chech my assembly pics but was sure I did this correct.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
The washer might still be on the shaft end inside with the bigger spring?
Pretty sure you can wiggle them off with a bit of patience - a magnet on a telescopic shaft might help.
Can't see a problem in using it without the kick start mech in place - you could take the lever off to reduce weight etc.
