Force 9.9HP 1991 outboard

[Boatguy32]

I purchased a used outboard recently and noticed the pull cord won’t budge while attached to the flywheel but when I remove it from the shaft it pulls just fine. Flywheel DOES turn freely by hand.

Is the shift lever in neutral ?

 

[Boatguy32]

It sure is

Repair the recoil starter.

I’m having a hard time even finding parts for this thing. Any particular site? I’ve checked boats.net and Crowley marine with no luck.

Model is 93f91a
Serial is 1069

Sounds like the shift interlock is stuck???
Pic of the pull start?

I guess I’m going to get back to the pull start at a later time. Come across some more issues. I was told there wasn’t spark to one of the plugs so they purchased the coils ( I hope the right ones?) and when I took the flywheel off, the existing wiring was in no way hooked up whatsoever so I don’t know where each wire goes now. I normally take a pic as I’m tearing things apart but now I’m a standstill. I’ll take a pic later in hope y’all can help out

It could still be stuck. The cable locked?

I guess I don’t know what you’re referring to? Cable? Or pull cord?

Trying to change coils but don’t know how the wiring is suppose to be. It was not done when taking the flywheel off so I don’t know how it goes! Help!

Shift interlock rod not a cable
#10 activates #1

Are you sure it is a 1991 ? according the website I'm looking on they made them 1984 - 1987 & 1996-1998

Is this your starter?

 

[Boatguy32]

Is this your starter?

That looks strikingly similar yes. And this might seem silly but how would I know if the shift interlock rod is stuck? It moves when I shift it between F N R

Maybe this helps?

The adjustment could be off, causing it to lock
