      I picked up a Johnson 10 hp QD-20 today on its way to the scrap yard. A couple pulls on the recoil revealed that it is not turning the flywheel. However I pulled the recoil off and gave it a pull with a rope and it seemed to want to start. But the recoil is clearly missing a spring or some other parts to connect with the flywheel. What would I be missing?

          Looks to me like the starter on the right is off a smaller motor – note the position of the plastic pawl.

            They’re both off of QD’s. I just forgot which year on the one on the right. Either a ’56 or "57

              Looks like I’m missing a spring and tab. The question is do I replace the whole recoil or just those parts?

                Check the length of the plastic pawl. The one on the right looks worn off or a broken tip.

                  I would just replace the missing pieces unless you can find a complete recoil locally, as shipping costs for a whole recoil might be prohibitive.

                  quote rickrodt:

                  Yeah, the one on the right is worn. The nylon has been smooshed up on the end. I just posted the pic for reference for mgsolakis. On closer inspection , there are some differences betweeen the two recoils, but I am guessing they would interchange . The motors that these two recoils came from were beyond repair like so many, they ingested water 😥 I do have 3 other QD runners though !

                    On further further inspection, the nylon pawl has been installed the wrong way on the one on the right, 😯 probably causing the end to be smooshed.

                      Thanks for posting the picture Wedgie, if I was going to ask on webadvertise what would I be asking for? The spring and tab from the recoil?

                        If you post a pic of your recoil, we can tell you what you are missing. No way to know without seeing it.
