So this weekend I was out on Patoka Lake in Indiana.... I shot out to a cove to get the kids some shade and let my wife do a little crappie fishing. I shut off the engine for about an hour and when they were ready to find a new hole I went to fire up the engine and get going.. I hadn't put it in neutral and went to pull the cable.. When I pulled the rip cord I felt/heard what seemed like something shearing off the top of the motor. The motor didn't fire up, so I went to pull it again and now the rip cord wont engage the crankshaft and get the motor turning.. The "spin plate" on top of the motor still winds up the rip cord and spins.. it just wont turn the motor at all..it's just loose.. Any ideas?
