Alden,
I'm trying to follow what you want to do but not quite sure I understand.
When you remove the pull start there is a back plate that is already there, which back plate are you trying to fit?
is it the recess back plate, the one that goes inside the crankcase and is held with 4 screws?
if that is the case this means you have removed the PTO shaft right?
and
you have replaced the crank shaft on the Aqub or you have grinded down the crank shaft to remove the pin for the PTO because if you haven't done that that plate won't fit.
you can run the aqub just by removing the pull start, leave the pto and the pull start back plate.
Dan.
