If the helix twist on the shaft is dry or sticky the bendix drive will not go in and engage the driven gear before the starter is spinning full speed. This is what causes the grind noise. Dress up the drive gear and lube the helix. The torque of the initial turn of the starter is supposed to put the drive into the driven gear instantly.

Choke out to run problem is easily solved. Take the carb off, drill out the lead puck in the passage that runs along the bottom of the fuel bowl, then using your fingers, run a twist drill in there to clean the gunk out. If you decide to take the bowl off the throttle body (no need to), loosen the bolts and carefully pry the bowl back along the bolts. Once it's loose, then take the bolts out and slide the bowl off in the same direction avoiding damaging the tube jet.
You'll need a gasket for the carb base and that's about it. Don't know about the grader but control is is choke off on the D2, and control out for closed throttle.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
