johnson and evinrude 9.5 hp recoil

how do you replace the recoil on these motors and load the spring back on them

thanks guys and gals

I've done it, it aint easy and I can't explain how to do it . Sure hope someone on here can help

All I can advise is that I tried to re-spring the recoil starter on a 3hp when I was but a teenager ... and the spring gizmo let go out of my grip ... and the walls & work area where I was working was splattered in blood like a CSI crime scene! I didn't lose any fingers, but my Dad was really disappointed in me ... didn't tell him that "I tried to fix it for him."

Since then, I've had a 6hp and snowblower where the pull cord was out 2-3', wouldn't rewind any further and there was barely any rewind torque. I pulled the cord to wind the spring up, LOCKED the rope wheel in place with 2 or 3 sets of locking pliers, removed the rubber pull knob and CAREFULLY routed it through and around the wheel back to full pressure. It worked ... but you do so at your OWN risk!

Can't advise on that motor. But I can tell you if the spring is complety out. You can drive a nail in a block of wood to hold the outside end of the spring and clamp the inside in the cuck of a drill and slowly rewind it. Beats doing it by hand.
There are you tube vedios of this method.
