Thanks Dave! Glad to hear its not too bad to hand pull it to start. Years ago I had a 50’s Johnson 30hp, one of those old red ones. It only had pull start and it would darn near dislocated my shoulder before it would fire up!
Actually now that I think about it, I had a (’61?) Evinrude 40 Lark a long time ago that didn’t have a charger and I had no troubles at all.
I would love any other thoughts or words of wisdom. In any event I’ll post more info and pics once I’ve had a peek at the rig.
