Evinrude 9.9 elec starter lock out cam

Have a 1998 Evinrude 9.9 electric start. Like most in this era it has a starter lock out that as long as you are in gear you can not use pull rope to start. There is a small cam system under recoil that when in gear will not allow recoil to engage. I have searched all over but no one has info on exactly how this cam allows plunger to engage and disengage when shifting. Personally think this is a ridiculous system and I will most likely just gut plunger, spring and linkage and treat just like a normal system.
I'm just curious on how the cam hooked to add gift rod pulls plunger back against the strong spring that engages plunger. Will be interested in hearing comments.
Thanks in advance
