So due to the "kicking back issue" my starter gear worked itself off inside my primary. Took the primary back off teeth are fine on the starter gear abd the clutch basket so any tricks to keep this damn thing on besides the washer that goes into the grove and crimps onto the bolt. Anybody ever use locktight.

Never used Loctite and never had issues with them coming undone except when comp is too high.
