That was a recoil starter lockout. Prevents you from pulling the starter rope at high throttle settings (in gear). Doing s could pitch you out over the transom.

Awesome so it doesn’t matter that it’s broken, was curious because the rubber wheel that contacts the flywheel wanted to be sure it didn’t have a purpose
