Teeth on flywheel good, rope is correct. I can move the gear about 0.080 sideways on the shaft . I know for sure it’s the correct gear,don’t know why it’s so loose on the shaft.
Hello,I have a 1972 Evinrude 6202d.The spool on the pull start assembly is not worn at all, I bought a new starter pinion gear #318447 and it fits very loose on the spool,enough that it binds with the teeth on the flywheel. Any thoughts?
