Re: Simplex vs. Eas-A-Matic Starters – Evinrude Lightwins

Put the rope through a small washer and the tie a knot so it won’t pull through.

For wire core rope…pull the brass end off by unsoldering it. Then squeeze the brass back into a basically round shape. Drill it out if need be to allow the rope to fit through it. Tie a not in the nylon rope. Then replace it in the recoil. This take some strain off the rope when starting. It works for me.

You may need to squeeze the brass a bit to fit it back in the pulley.

Good luck!
