Very new to this so thanks in advance.
My pull rope on my 1990 15hp Johnson is fraying, and want to replace.
Any idea where I can find a manual, or even a video (just need a visual as I don't yet know all the parts/names) to explain how to do so?
Thanks!

If the rope isn't broken and you just want to do preventative repairs........

Pull the rope out to its full extent.

Gently grab the top of the manual starter with vice grips so that the spindle cannot move.

Remove the old cord.... install the new cord.

Install the handle... remove the vice grips.
