Re: Starting rope for 1979 85 Hp Johnson
Have you looked inside the hood of your motor? Many of them have a little red box in there with an emergency rope inside.
You want the 7/32 size. True, the dealer stuff is better than some of the hardware store stuff, but the store should have the good stuff too. After all, you are only using it in an emergency. Just a piece of rope around 3 feet or so, and a piece of dowel or broom handle with a hole drilled in it. If you want to take the easy way out, just go to a lawn mower shop. They have them already made up. I'll bet Home Depot does too.
