Some were sold with a rope sheave on the flywheel, but not like that one. The factory Evinrude sheave actually was for a flat belt, not a rope. The section where the belt to be wrapped around was wider for that reason, plus there was a notch where a hook at the end of the belt would fit into. Hope this helps.

He's livin' in his own private Idaho..... I hope to go out quietly in my sleep, like my grand-dad did..... and not screaming, like the passengers in his car...
