Evinrude 0203725 Friction Spring to Pawl Link Genuine OEM product	$18.97~~$19.45~~ In stock 5+ in stock	Best	OEM Evinrude link that ties the friction spring to the starter pawl in the rewind starter. This small wire piece sets the pawl’s return tension and alignment so the pawl reliably flips out to catch the flywheel and then retracts. The photo shows a bright, uncoated/plated finish with clean factory bends (square hook on one end, offset loop on the other) and no stamped markings—typical of OEM links. Fit is proven across many late‑70s/’80s Johnson/Evinrude recoil starter assemblies, and OEM geometry helps prevent pawl wear and mis‑engagement. Installation tip: orient the hooks exactly as removed and avoid putting grease on the pawl friction faces—keep those dry; only a light protectant on non‑contact areas if you run in salt. Best choice when you want guaranteed drop‑in fit and long‑term reliability from the original spec.

EMP 93-08664 Spring (viewing this product) Aftermarket product	$13.59~~$15.99~~ Cross Ship Leaves in 3-5 days Please update to verify the current stock status. Product availability has not been checked in more than 7 days.	Better	EMP aftermarket link that cross‑references to the same application as the OEM piece. Your sample and the photo look dimensionally identical to the OEM (same hook/loop geometry), but with a black‑oxide style finish that offers basic corrosion protection; in marine use, still treat non‑contact areas with a light inhibitor. Because this part simply transmits spring tension, correct shape and wire gauge matter most—and EMP matches those, making it a reliable, lower‑cost substitute. Practical tip: if your pull‑starter still slips or chews pawls after replacing the link, inspect the pawl itself and the friction spring; mis‑orientation or lubricating the friction faces can also cause engagement issues. Rated BETTER for solid fit and value, with performance essentially on par with OEM at a typically lower price.
