    It’s you. I’m 83 also and know what you mean. My little 3hp’s get harder to pull every day. And harder to lift too.

    Yes, those early Simplex starters had small pulleys and were harder to pull. Could be extremely hard if it has the wrong spring installed There were two springs at the time, one was for the Big Twins and was much stronger. Due to supersedings over the years, I don’t know how the new ones compare, or what’s in yours.
