Roger that. I took the band off, and peaked in through the openings. Everything inside looks fine and appears to be untouched. There wasn't anything glaringly obvious, at least not to me haha.

Will give it a shot with a bench test. I plan to replace the starter switch, and gasket. I'll let you guys know what happens.
