Will it rope start? Do you hear the solenoid engage at least? If it rope starts, recheck all electrical connections. They need to be clean. corrosion can interrupt circuit. Then check solenoid, finally starter motor.

How old? If it is the old system that looks like a spiral ramp, very carefully. I knot one end, feed it into the hole at the top and then feed it around without taking apart the starter. The spring is a pain to work with.

You will need a special tool to do that job. It is just a 10/24 long bolt bent to form a crank and a nut spun on it and soldered or double nutted to keep it in place.

Remove the top slotted bolt and replace it with the tool.

Release the pressure on the cross pin by back winding the spring- and remove the cross pin.

The starter gear will slide up the shaft after you remove the flywheel. Or you can loosen the 2 screws on the top bracket.

Now release the tension on the spring and pull the core from the spool.

The spool comes out and the rope must be freed from the guide.

The reverse is about the same- feed the cord and spool it up attach the handle.

Replace the top bracket if you removed it. Put on the starter gear

grease the spring with light grease inspect the nylon base and coil anchor (tiny brass cinch squeezed on to the stub of spring coming from the base.

Now -with the tool- wind the spring backward about 5 times and insert the pin thru the gear and into the shaft. With the tool in place pull the starter thru several times to see if the tension is right and you didn't forget the rope guide..

Replace the original screw to hold the pin in place.

This works for most pop-up starters.

Use a dentists mirror and a flash light to look in tight spots

Open the fuel valve ( at the back near the spark plugs).
Pull the choke knob ( SB side at the lower front of the motor)
Set the throttle handle in 'start' position ( abour 1/4 of the travelling way from SB to Port)
Pull the rope starter.
Should start easily.
