I have a 73 johnson 9.5 hp I had to replace the recoil. So I bought an entire recoil off ebay. I replaced the recoil. The recoil engages the flywheel good, but the recoil rope isnt rewinding all the way. My question is do I have to release the spring and re-tighten it? Or reset the spring somehow? Or did I buy a bum part? Any help would be apreciated.
