Thanks a lot Wes.
It was loose when I took it off. I've got a reconditioned starter on the way. Just curious, and nobody (else) could answer my question.
Another one; the oil filler tube is just p ... |

Tried the magnet first, and after trying 20+ times, I managed to get the pin far enough out so I could pull it out with tweezers.

Pulled the cable out from the top end, so no seizure. The cable was black with oil/grease, so this failure was most likely just a fatigue failure.
You mean I can just unscrew SS from the case and pul ... |

Changed the spark plugs with new NGK plugs.
I checked the old plugs, and I have to say I have never seen plugs looking so healthy as the ones I removed. Rusty on the outside, and a nice light brown ... |

Phew, finally managed to get the lower end of the cable off. In the end I had to use a heat gun, and finally it gave up.
