If there had been no foul, was K's recovery beyond the line to gain, or not?
If not, R gets the ball, correct? Clock starts on snap.
If the line to gain was made on the recovery, K's ball, new series, correct? Clock starts on RFP.
According to the article cited above in "Referee" , Oct., pg. 21 this is how we should determine when we start the clock: Treat it as if there were no foul, and ask ourselves, why did we stop it, new series for K, or change of possesion, new series for B? Is this article in error?

If there had been no foul, since R touched (muffed) the ball beyond the line of scrimmage. If K recovered the ball, it is K's ball with a new series...first and 10, no matter where K recovered the ball.
In this situation, since K gets a new series after a legal scrimmage kick, the clock would start on the snap.
( the above assumes no fouls during the play and that K did not commit first touching - R's muff was the only touching of the ball beyond the line of scrimmage.) Also, in this situation, if K recovers the ball behind the line of scrimmage they may advance the ball. If K recovers the ball beyond the line of scrimmage, they may not advance the ball.
