I have a pull start with 30 hours on motor. The rope start will not
engage
the flywheel. Any ideas what might be wrong. This motor is just like
new.
Thanks Bill. It's a 2000 9.9hp 4 stroke Evinrude, manual start only.
The
roope won't pull out at all in gear, but there is no resistance in
neutral.



That starter uses a plastic pawl, part number 338335, that sells for less
than $6. You have to remove the starter and look on the underside. Chances
are the pawl is worn down , broken, or came off.
