I am in need of an education. I acquired a 1980 Honda Express that is not running. The engine turns freely, but, the starter spring is wound tight and won't release. Does the spring normally release when the kick pedal returns to the top of its stroke, or, is there another means to let her rip? The kick pedal does move about 10 - 15 degrees, and has significant spring tension against it, so I think the starter spring is in tact. Is it safe to disassemble in this condition?? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Ron
