Re: evinrude model 6704 1977 6hp pull rope

this what i want ?

Yeh.... Previous reply..... over the flywheel type manual starter instructions = a boo boo on my part. I meant to insert the following.

(Manual Starter Cord Installation)
(This pertains to the vertical type of Manual Starters such as the 9.5hp and later 4.5/6/8hp models etc)
(J. Reeves)

1 - Have a pair of vice grips handy set so that they will grab the top of the starter spindle tightly but will not damage it.

2 - Using a large screwdriver inserted into the top of the starter spindle, wind the starter in a counter clockwise direction 12 to 14 turns, stopping so that the cord locking slot is facing the away from the engine.

3 - Lock the spindle in that position with the vice grips, letting the vice grips lay against the flywheel.

4 - Insert the cord as needed and make sure it is retained properly at that slot.

5 - Feed the cord out the starter cord hole at the front of the engine and attach the handle.

6 - Grip the cord tightly so that the spindle cannot spin around rapidly, then release the vice grips.

7 - Allow the cord to be withdrawn slowly around the spindle

my rope is cut to 72 inches, Im guessing that is too long because of the excess. is the length to be 54in?

52 inches. Really 51 and 3/4". This is from the parts list at http://shop2.evinrude.com , which has the parts diagrams and part numbers for 1968 on. It lists the rope length there.
