  • Today we replace a starter rope on a 1972 Evinrude outboard motor. I also create a little specialty tool to make the job go easier. Watch as we learn together. Should be very similar to Johnson motors with this style of start rope system.

    Sweet. Starting after 8 years sitting. First pull, the knot on the spring come off. This is so easy the way you did it. Thanks for the help.

    Great job. The only thing that needs addition need is a manicure on that left thumb nail. As always love the attire. Your the guru man with lots of outboard wisdom. Bless you. Will need that outboard savie on my dad's 1957 Johnson 7 1/2 with a seized piston. Pray for me.

    This was awesome and helped me a ton, thank you!!! This is my first outboard, 85 Johnson Seahorse 6HP. The chord is frayed a bit and I wanted to put a new one on before it caused me problems on the water. I had no idea how to do it, so your video was fantastic! I lucked out and had a large flat chisel that is hexed so I could put a wrench on it. My 14 year old was around to help, so I was able to make that work, but your tool idea was great!!! Just didn't have a bolt lying around :) Thanks again!!!!!!

    So what do you do if you don’t have an angle grinder working to create the homemade piece? I’ve tried with screwdrivers but it just doesn’t get past 5-6 turns before slipping. It also sucks because I am solo.

    Hi,
    I have this motor and the recoiler is very loose and jiggle a bit like there is a top bushing that is missing or worn. Have you seen that and can you rebuild it?

  • @fleetwin1
    @fleetwin1 4 роки тому

    What a great idea! Trying to wind that up with a screwdriver is a joke. The key is getting the proper knot on the pulley so it does not jam. On these models with the aluminum pulley there is an easy knot that is described in the manual that will never jam..
    But, please don't put any sort of lube on that pinion spring or pulley...

      You don’t want to ever order every piece for for that starter! The spring alone is $107. Pinion gear on top, $35
      A rebuild kit with most of the wear pieces used to be available, for ,less than $20, but is no longer available.

      you can find starter rope on amazon and the length you can finalize after install.

      @@Michaelsbackyardmarina Thanks. Amazon item says: Rope size: #4.5 (9/64") or 3.6mm diameter. It doesn't state the length. Fortunately the guy I got the motor from found the original pull handle with the broken rope attached and I picked it up today. I measured 46 inches long after putting the two pieces together. Since I have the original handle that I would rather use now I only need the new cord. It looks like this Briggs & Stratton Starter Rope will work 0.1 in diameter and 77 in long can be cut to length: www.homedepot.com/p/Briggs-Stratton-Starter-Rope-280399S/206077499
