90 johnson 2002

[Danard]

The specifications on this motor says it is electric/manual start. What do they mean? I ask a mechanic if you could start this motor manualy and he said no the flywheel is enclosed. Am I reading the specifications wrong. It is in the sales manual thay pass out at the dealers showrooms and is on Bombardier web site.

Hi, D.J.<br /><br />The spec means that you can get the engine with electric start or manual start. In a small engine you often get both an electric starter and a rope recoil starter, but not all engines have both.<br /><br />If you take the bonnet off of the 90, you will find notches on the flywheel for winding a free rope, or the spec is wrong.<br /><br />Good luck.

Thanks for the info JB I don't know why the service center could not tell me that. I looked at the cover over the flywheel and I don't think it can be acessed. I keep a small 10amp.12 volt DC gasoline generator on board so I should not have to pull start it unless the starter goes bad.
