[QUOTE="Kansas_Nova, post: 311177, member: 9388"] I recently acquired a 9.9 Johnson shortshaft (10R74S). I have replaced the plugs, repaired the coils, added new knobs and cleaned the carb. I bought and installed a used recoil starter for it and when I pull on the rope it feels like I'm trying to turn over a motor with 500 PSI compression. I pulled the plugs and the motor turns over just fine when pulling on the rope. I have tried to rope start it from the flywheel as well and it feels as it should. I do realize there is a significant gear reduction with the recoil starter as compared to the flywheel starting method but I have never had to pull so hard to try and start any motor. I am using NGK spark plugs (B7HS) but might try the next hotter heat range plugs (BR6HS) Any advice or comments would be fantastic. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
