Am working on replacing my 1956 evinrude pull cord and am pretty sure the one that finally gave out was original.

It has a steel wire core and some old school clamped metal hook piece on the end...

Doubt they make those any more, so am looking for insight on a replacement.

Can I just tie a knot in the end instead of trying reuse the old hook?
And do I need a steel core style?

Hit me...
 
The fabric covered steel core ones are still available but are NOS and as a result will probably not last.
Go onto the marineengine site and look up the size and length needed to do a braided nylon replacement. Yes, just tie a knot and heat the ends.
Hopefully you are running this on no less than a 24:1 ratio?
