If the recoil starter is not working
properly, you can start the engine
manually using the emergency starter
rope that came with your outboard
motor.
1. Remove the engine cover.
2. Remove the three 5 mm nuts with
an 8 mm wrench and remove the
recoil starter.
3. Set the controls the same as for
normal starting (see pages 25 – 27).
Use the choke control if needed.

emergency starter rope in the notch
in the flywheel pulley. Wind the
rope clockwise around the flywheel
pulley, as shown.
