I imagine?
Your eBay recoil starter is a complete assembly that fits on to the shaft
No taking apart no replacing the paw of one with the other
I like two stroke motorcycles mopeds etc
But I think you should have bought the other generator, the inverter 4 cycle
There is no shaft. The drive pawl sticks out when you pull the cord and catches the flywheel in its "blades" that is behind there (see part #40 flywheel in the schematic in the manual)

We'll see on the eBay starter. It shows the screw that holds the parts in so you can put in a new cord or whatever.
I see the HF manual has the whole recoil starter as a part in their schematic, but I was able to buy just the drive pawl (#100)for the King.
That other little gen was just as hard to start (in the cold anyway) and it was much louder or pitched, whatever--I couldn't take that on my ears. This one is a lot easier on the ears when standing close to it, plus it will run the 40 amp charger instead of just the 20 amper.
The real proper choice was the Honda 1000, but way more money and its too big physically to go in my compartment. This one was on sale used, paid $100Can = $75 US, so a good deal once I manage to tame it. :)
