[QUOTE="1960 yellowboat, post: 466467, member: 24593"] I have found that some younger people, like my nephew, will just grab the starter handle and give it a mighty pull. Drives me nuts! He broke the recoil starter on my lawn mower doing that. I have found that the correct way to do it is to pull slowly until you feel the dogs catch and you can feel the resistance, then give it a hard yank. Otherwise you put undue stress on the mechanism And yes, replace the entire cord with one made for outboards , not just any piece of rope. Just my 2 cents [/QUOTE]
