my motor is a 4w77 four hp 1977 weedless gearcase the recoil is very weak more so when it is cold. i need to pull it and wind it back by hand. if the motor runs for a while it almost works like it should. i still need to play with the rope to get it to return. i had it apart and it appears ok. maybe i need a new spring. do they get out of shape? i rewound the spring and that did nothing. if anybody has any thoughts let me know thanks.
