Answer 1

get the ID number off the engine and contact some old marine operator and he should be able yo give you all the info you need

Answer 2

i know, this is a guessing game, right?  the spring coil type thing is a "spring".  the wind up type thing is a "sheave".  the pull thing is a "rope".  the grabbie thing is a "handle". the thing that connects with the flywheel to make it turn is a "pawl".  is there a prize for this. LOL.  good luck.

Answer 3

It's called the starter recoil unit. There are about 4 parts to it, so take the broken part into the dealer and they will be able to sell you a replacement.

All the best Bigpathome.
