Starter

!WARNING!

•The recoil spring sits in its tensioned posi tion in the starter housing and can with careless handling fly out and cause personal injury.

•When replacing the recoil spring or the starter cord great care should be exercised. Always wear protective glasses.

Replacing a broken or worn starter cord

• Loosen the bolts that hold the starter against the crankcase and lift off the starter unit.

•Pull out the cord approx. 30 cm and lift it out of the cut- out in the starter-pulley’s periphery. Reset the recoil spring by allowing the pulley

to slowly rotate backwards.

•Loosen the screw in the centre of the starter-pulley

and lift off the pulley. Insert and secure the starter cord in the starter pulley. Wind on approx. 3 turns of the cord on the pulley. Fit the pulley on the recoil spring so that the end of the recoil spring hooks on the pulley. Fit the screw in the centre of the pulley. Thread the starter cord through the hole in the starter housing and the starter handle. Tie a good knot on the end of the cord.

Tensioning the recoil spring

•Lift up the starter cord from the cut out on the pulley and turn the pulley approx. 2 turns clockwise.

NOTE! Ensure the starter pulley can be turned at least a further 1/2 turn when the starter cord is fully extended.

Replacing a broken recoil spring

•Lift the starter pulley (see

"Changing a broken or worn starter cord").

• Loosen the screws holding the spring cassette.

• Disassemble the recoil spring by tapping the pully (with its inside facing down) lightly against a working bench or similar. If the spring pops out when assembling, it should be mounted again, out and in towards the centre.

•Lubricate the recoil spring with thin oil. Assemble the starter pulley, and tension the recoil spring.

Fitting the starter

•Fit the starter by first pulling out the starter cord and then placing the starter in position on the crankcase.

No slowly release the starter cord so that the pawls grip in the pulley.

• Fit and tighten the screws that hold the starter.
