[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 353282, member: 3278"] Each engine has a very specific rope length. Make sure you adhere to this. Too short and you will damage the starter assembly if you over extend the rope while pulling. Too long and you will have slack and the rope will jump the grooves. Proper diameter is necessary. Think yours is 5/32" but not positive Any Johnson evinrude dealer close to you can sell you the proper diameter rope at the correct length. The length is outlined in their parts manuals. [/QUOTE]
