Pull won't Recoil on engine. Works fine when removed. Snapper mower w. Briggs

[Fireberd350]

1990ish Snapper riding mower with 12 hp Briggs engine. Recently the recoil became sticky and now it won't recoil at all. Removed the cover and it recoils fine. Lubed everything up and reassembled and same issue. Seems the crank on top of the engine is not "ratcheting" as freely as it should. Any advice?

Thanks!

Replace the clutch, and buff the shaft with fine sandpaper.

Looking at the part it appears to be what I need. Thanks so much
