    9.9 h.p. evinrude problems

    Hello everyone, I have a '74-75 9.9 evinrude outboard. The wheel that the pull cord turns isn't interlocking with the larger one that gets the engine turning. I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else and what they did to fix it. I'm going to get a new smaller wheel for the pull...
