Briggs & Stratton Omega 46, Loud Skreech?

The mower will start and run, then some time later there is a loud skreech and the starter cord feeds out and gets tangled in the return spring.it will start again once I untangle the cord.

The starter clutch is partialy siezed. Replacement is the only sensible option.
