Sorry, but I did a search but couldn't find what I was looking for. I was asked to look at a friends 8hp 2 stroke. For a while, pulling the starter cord didn't turn over the engine. I had no tools to take the flywheel cover off, but it cured itself. He doesn't want to row back the next time! Any ideas?

Re: 8hp pull starter

on most recoils there are tines that engages the flywheel when the rope is pulled. these get dirty and cruddy. sometimes a good rap on the recoil work to free them up. then take some WD40 with the straw and spray up the recoil. this should free you the tines.
