Re: 1960 CD 17 5.5hp Johnson Recoil

Success,

I inspected it this morning and noticed that the washer (7) was missing. I am guessing what that washer does is puts pressure on the starter spindle (6) around its edge to keep it from spinning when you pull the rope. Thinking of what Mumbles said that some of them have a pin in them from the spindle to the recoil frame (1) to keep it from spinning when rope is pulled. I then drilled a small hole in the spindle for a pin and a small hole in the recoil frame right above it and put it all back together with a small pin I made . When I pulled the rope this time the pawl came out as it should but I did have to put marine grease around the slot the starter pawl spring (11) groove (6)so it could spin easily with less friction when rope is pulled.

Its working super fantastic now just waiting on a few more parts now.

Thanks everyone,
Joe

ps I did look up that starter spindle (6) and that particular one did not come with a pin looking at pics of that part number on ebay so I am guessing it must be the missing washer but I’m not going to pay 10 bucks for the washer and it may not have worked.
