recoil starter repair?

I have a Mountfield Empess 16 lawnmower, S/N 83604 001871, with a Tecumseh BVS 143 engine unit. The recoil spring housing has fractured thus the spring hook will not latch into the slot on the housing thus preventing the spring from being wound. Could you tell me where I can shop for a replacement spring housing or complete recoil assembly

Hi,

I can supply a new recoil assembly to fit your BVS for £15 + P&P.
