[QUOTE="sparkbr, post: 94007, member: 1060"] Typically there is a lock out incorporated in the shift linkage that disables the pull start when the motor is in gear. This can be damaged, or even break a rope if trying to start the motor in gear, but I have seen several outboards that have had this removed or damaged with no other affected issues. There is a bit of a safety issue though. If the motor fires at WOT, in gear, there is a very real potential for you to be thrown out of the boat. [/QUOTE]
