I pulled the starter rope out of my jon boat motor on accident and am having a difficult time getting it working properly again. I downloaded the factory service manual but it shows using a tool that is $175 to rewind the spring. The motor is a 1994 Evinrude 4hp Deluxe. I retied the rope and reinstalled the starter with the spring wound by hand, but when I pull the rope to start the motor the rope just pulls out without engaging the starter and doesn't recoil back in. Any ideas on how to get it working without purchasing the tool?
