‘66 9.5 Johnson Starter Rewind

I am attempting to fix my starter for this engine as it does not rewind the pull cord. After taking the starter out and inspecting it I notice that the (part number 0314586) - Spring Retainer “upper” is broken. It looks like the bottom 1/2 inch split off. Is this what is causing my starter not to recoil? How do I replace this part of the starter? Is this the same part that would be in an Evinrude 9RL-73B? It lists the same part on both engines I just wanted to double check. https://www.marineengine.com/parts/johnson-evinrude-parts.php?year=1973&hp=9.5&model=9RL73B&manufacturer=Johnson&section=Rewind+Starter

I have a the Evinrude as a parts motor and would like to just pull that part out of possible.

Thanks. I appreciate the confirmation. Do you happen to know how I would remove that part?

They are a bit of a pill first time you do one there are some good YouTube videos on it

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
