•After each usage, thoroughly flush the starter housing assembly with water. (Figure 2)
•Lubricate the starter pawls by spraying light weight oil into the starter housing through the vents. (Figure 2)

STARTER CORD REPLACEMENT
•Remove the 4 screws that attach the starter assembly to the crankcase.
•Pull the cord out approximately 8” and lift the cord up into the notch in the pulley (Figure 3). Relax the recoil spring by placing thumb on pulley and gently allow the pulley to unwind entirely. Undo the screw in the center of the pulley and remove the pulley.
•Thread the new cord through the starter cover and fasten it to the pulley. Wind 4 turns of the starter cord on to the pulley.
