    1990 evinrude 8 hp recoil starter spring

    Hello to all, new to this forum, and of course need some help. I unfortunately removed the recoil starter to access the 10mm nut to remove the carburetor for cleaning. This I see now has created a bigger problem than I had before. I was able to reassemble the starter, but not able to get the...
