I have a 1965 Johnson 9.5 hp model MQ11c. This motor uses a 3 Blade aluminum prop (OMC #377635). I think the hub in this prop is starting to slip. I have a 2 Blade prop from a 1969 6 hp engine that has never been used (OMC#380958) It installs the exact same way as the 3 Blade prop using a prop...
I have a 1965 Johnson MQ-11c 9.5 horse outboard. GREAT little engine, but I am having a problem with the Idle Speed Adjustment. These engines had a LOT of vibration at low speed. Last weekend I couldn't keep the engine running in idle long enough to put it into gear. I looked under the cowling...

Does any one know the "trick" to anchoring the rope to the rewind starter on a 1972 6hp Johnson - Model # 6R72D?
I have looked at several different manuals - they all show the same procedure, but every time I do it, the rope comes out on the first pull and then I have to rewind the spring...
I pulled the rope completely off of the rewind spool and now I can't get the knot tied to put a new rope on the starter. I tried the Service Manual for this motor and still cannot get the thing to stay on the spool.
This is what it says in the manual:
"1. Insert a large size screwdriver...
