Well is it fixed!!!
The Stop/Start level was assemble incorrectly, the shaft was binding on the bushing, there was some corrosion on the shaft. Clean it all up and it rotated freely. I was able to figure out where the end of the spring should be located, see picture.
The real challenge was trying to assemble it with the spring properly located.
Not sure how to describe this. I put the spring on the spacer and locate it onto the internal lever and put the screw through the spacer and then the internal lever, then inserted the screw into the busing hole. Then inserted the stop/start lever shaft into the bushing then began spring the lever to thread onto the screw. There is absolutely no way to thread the bolt into the lever while the lever is installed into the bushing. I was able to get the bolt threaded on most of the way before I have to tighten in from the inside. The internal is keyed to the shaft so you can tighten the bolt most of the way then you have to then locate the internal lever on to the keyway of the shaft.
Once reassemble it now rotates on its own like it showed.
I just need to reassemble everything.
Does any one know where to get the clip in nuts that go into the sheet metal housing. Some of the bolt broke off in the nuts would like to replace them.
