Size of recoil rope on jiffy auger?

[lungdeflator]

My old auger has a 3hp Tecumseh on it, anybody know the diameter of recoil rope on it? The original broke years ago and I've been using junk rope that usually breaks 2-3 times a yr. wanting to get some good stuff on there

1/8 inch length not sure? If you get it in a larger diameter it will fray within 10 pulls,Then keep fraying.Dont ask how I know!
