Reinstalling starter cord for '69 Evinrude 6hp

[Schritzy]

I bought a '69 Evinrude 6hp motor today, and when trying it out, I completely pulled the cord out. No rip, I think the knot came out.<br /><br />When attempting to reistall, I noticed the spool doesn't feed the cord back in after a yank (lack of spring). It worked perfectly minutes earlier. <br /><br />Does anyone know the proper steps for rewinding the cord? Thanks

Sometimes when the cord breaks...so does the spring as it snaps back. Does it have any life at all?<br /><br />TMD
