      I have a 1951 Mercury KG7,

      It has the original rope in it for the recoil, but the handle is thrashed.

      I’ve been debating replacing the handle, which I will most likely do.

      However, would it be good practice to replace the rope as well? The current rope looks fine.

      On my KF7, the original rope looks like it wore a hole through the tank, and as a result, it leaks.

       

      Any ideas?

       

      Thanks, Aidan
