Broken motor
Hey guys around the Grand Rapids area. My trusty evinrude decided to not recoil anymore when I try to start it. From everyone I've talked to apparently I should be able to fix it but I'm not mechanically inclined and am sick if not fishing where is a good place to take a motor. I do believe its a spring on the flywheel that missing. I'm looking for some place trustworthy that won't rape me but I'm to the point where I see how windy it's supposed to be so I can go rowing for some muskies haha.. I've actually got 2 motors I want to bring the one is an evinrude with a bad flywheel and the other is a mercury that apparently needs a special gas line hook up... More frustrating than cell phone chargers but I'm not going down that road.. I actually live in Hastings and don't care if the place to go is Kalamazoo, gun lake.... I'm stupid for not asking earlier I'm just headstrong and thought I could do it but I know nothing about this lol any help???
And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

I concur with Vans, the best thing about them is that if its a little older they are almost for sure to have parts. Ive gotten stuff from them for everything from a 1942 johnson to a 2006 Merc... But like he said they are little pricey on some stuff.kid coulson wrote:Ive had good work done at Vans sport center in the past although most people will tell ya they are a bit pricy. I also heard good things about Mattison/Maddison ?? By Gun lake.
