Pull rope recoil mechanism locked uo

[jonathanwsmith]

hi friends. Maybe you can help. My 1963 Evinrude 10 hp Sportwin pull rope locked up, after running and starting like a champ. The flywheel turns freely so its not locked up. I pulled it off the motor head and shot this 6 second video to show what I encountered. Any I suggestions? Thanks,

Jonathan Smith
