have anyone tried rope starting a big Johnson outboard? My Johnson 90 v4 died while I was in no wake zone on the Potomac river. I tried to start it but my starter died too??? So, I am trying to buy a new starting motor and rebuild the old starter. In the mean time, I am trying to pull start it. 2 questions:
(1) have you done it before? what are the tips?
(2) Can you see what I did wrong in my video - please help - thanks? Took me awhile to finally figure out my rope knot should go into the 2 angle groves on the flywheel. Was I not pulling hard enough? I already got the gas and water hooked up, so in case the motor does turn over I wont burn my water impeller.
