40 hp rope start hooks???

[knehdn]

I need to replace those little spring loaded hooks on the inside of the rope start cowling which grab the flywheel. So far I've only been able to source the entire cowling. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I only see one pawl missing. And the post that holds it is broken, so you need a rope sheave too. That stuff should all be available from any Evinrude dealer---probably has one in the scrap pile.

If not, go to www.aomci.org and place a free want ad on their Webvertize page. Come to think of it, I may have one. Send me a PM if you want me to look.
