Hello there!

Hello there!
I'm hoping someone more experienced than myself can help me out. The "pull start" rope on my 1985 25HP 'rude is slow to retract and doesn't want to retract at all some times. Can anyone offer some advice as to what I should check or do? I pulled the cover and could not find any obvious problems. Thanks in advance!

"Michael..... Possibly a slight bit of dirt or corrosion has build up and is causing the problem you've encountered. Many times, a slight spray of WD40 at the movement areas would cure the problem. If not, the only cure would be to dismantle the manual starter and clean it.
