What is a recoil start?

Can you run a 40 hp electric start boat motor if i remove the recoil starter?

  • the plate on top of the spring broke and it rattles with the motor running i never use the recoil starter just need to remove it if dont hurt anything

  • Answer:

    The recoil starter's function is basically spinning the crank to get things going ...just in case.. I don't want to give you a lesson in mechanical engineering, you might possibly know more than I when I was your age, just thought Id tell you that you're good. I can see if i can find you a series of videos of these mechanisms I made in 3d for an old thesis in school. ...Let me know.

Yes, you should be able to run it without but it is really there just in case your battery dies. You might ask yourself, how will I start it with a dead battery or bad electric starter? Hope this helps
