The recoil starter came apart on my Powder Special. The spring came apart and nicked up part of the outside of the flywheel and damaged the ignition timing coil. I pulled the flywheel and stator to make sure that it wasn't damaged and that no peices or parts came apart in side. All looks good. I started the sled up using a rope on the clutch and it starts and runs just fine. I ordered a new timing sensor that was supposed to be in on Thursday, but now it won't be in until Monday. I am wanting to go riding this weekend.

Question: Can I use the damaged coil as long as it is still working? The plastic case has a crack in it and the metal sensor part has a stratch on it, but as I mentioned, it still works. I have attached pictures for reference.

Thanks
