Good work. You got aHEAD of the problem. That motor sounded on the money. I think the cover is a cowling aka a hood/cover but seeing as we’re in Oz, cowling rather than hood. I would hope that whilst on any water that you would wear a life vest as you never know when something might go arse up. That now POWERFUL motor might surprise you and throw you overboard. 😉🙈 Keep up the fixing of things but it’s a bit like painting the Harbour Bridge isn’t it. 😅 👍🏻🙏🦘
I see you do this, and I can't help but to laugh. My father did the same thing to his 532 Ritax Engine in the 90's. The guy that owned it before could never make it work. Sold it to my father for 250$ thinking he wouldn't figure out what was wrong with it. Engine had a slight warp and seals wouldn't work on it. He sanded it down on a piece of glass. Took about 4 days of work. Ran like a top after. The other guy had switched to a 582 by then. He always went to see my dad for his engine troubles after that.
I have an exact same model, aciddentaly pulled the starter rope on mine and i have No idea on how to put it back in the starter, can’t find no tutorial either, do you think you could try and explain to me or possibly make a video? Would be very grateful🙏
Okay, no problems, but first I need more info. These models have two different starters. The one mine has, which sits to the side and turns the engine by a gear which raises to engage. There is also a starter which the later models have, which sits on top of the engine and spins the flywheel from on top. If you have the later model starter I cannot help you unfortunately as I have never fixed one sorry. Secondly, Has the rope become fully detached from the starter assembly or is it still attached and does not want to retract? If it does not want to return back in, the recoil spring needs repair or replacement. Sometimes the spring skips it’s little spot if you pull the rope out too far and it just needs realigning, that or it is very worn and needs replacement.
Its the exact same as yours, and when i pulled the other day it released and then it broke in half 😅 so i need to find an new rope but luckily i live on an farm so should be easy to find something alike and then reattach it.
@ErikJohansson-zq3up I will have a look at the bottom of it when I get home for you, but it is most likely very easy to fix. You will have to tie a knot at the end, wind it all the way around the starter assembly and then pull it a little through the hole in the cowl and then feed the knob through the rope and tie a knot at the end of that.
I have the exact same outboard. I always had problems with the Bendix type starter, so I bought a pull cord starter off the later DT3.5 model that sits on top of the flywheel. It was a simple direct replacement and works much better. The only issue I had was I also had to fit the later hood (cowling?). I'd thought I'd be able to simply cut a hole in the existing hood for the pull cord, but it sat too low and wouldn't close. Otherwise a simple job if you can source the parts.

Solved it (kind of) i havent found an rope yet but i know how it works now. Thanks for the attention🙏👌
