If your recoil spring is still working properly, it's fairly easy. Remove the starter sheave assembly, lay it upside down on the bench. Note where the old rope is anchored, remove any remaining rope. While holding assembly housing from turning, wind sheave in a counter clockwise direction until spring is completely tensioned. Carefully, let the sheave rotate clock wise about one revolution. Continue the rotation until the anchor pocket in the sheave lines up with the roller and outlet hole located in the housing. While holding the sheave assembly in this position, ( the spring is under tension ),thread the replacement rope into the anchor pocket and out through the housing outlet, pull snug. Tie a loose, temporary knot in rope, and allow spring to wind the rope back into the housing. Install the handle on rope end and untie knot. Allow rope to be wound back into the housing and pull several times to check operation. Note, if any disassembly is required, be advised that there are quite a few loose parts that make up this particular re-wind assembly. In this case, I would recommend purchasing a repair manual, or taking the assembly to a repair facility.

Can you start a 9.9 hp mercury while in gear?
The 9.9 hp Mercury outboard was designed with start in gear protection. The manual start model is equipped with a lock-out, preventing use of the pull rope. The electric start model utilizes a micro switch, which breaks the start circuit at the solenoid. As with anything mechanical, adjustment is needed periodically, and in some cases, these safety mechanisms may have been disabled by someone.

I pulled the cord on my snapper riding lawnmower and the cord broke. How do I replace it?
You have to buy a new rope, remove the cover from the engine that contains the manual rope starter. There is a spring inside that can fly out and injure you if you do not know what you are doing. My suggestion is that you take the mower or the cover to a lawn mower shop and let them replace the rope if you are not comfortable tackling this yourself. It can be tricky to install the new rope and wind the spring just right.
