Set the gear back together with some super glue. Push it level into some clay. Mix up some 2 part 5 minute epoxy, or JB Weld Plastic Mender and fill the mold, give it a swipe level to take away excess and let it cure.
Holy Toledo, after lubricating the choke linkages and let sit for an hour, heard ignition on the second turn and it started on the 3 crank in February!!!! Wow I can't believe it. Normally I'm struggling in the winter.
