have a older model outboard, 1981 model i think, goes dam well but today the pull cord wouldn't retract all the way in, noticed the screw on top of the casing was loose and came out, re-fitted it and now whenits done up tight the pull cord wont come out, so have loosened the screw and it spins, is that normal! and the cord wont go all the way back in by itself i have to pull it in small goes and let it retarct slowly etc cheers

The loose screw must of let the spring jump a notch you will need to take it off and wind the spring back to take up the slack in the rope

Just remember not to take the spring its self out as it will unwind and make a big bird's nest !
