•Loosen the screws that hold the starter against the crankcase and remove the starter.

•Undo the bolt in the centre of the pulley and remove the drive disc (A), drive disc spring (B) and the pulley

(C). Insert and secure a new starter cord in the starter pulley. Wind approx. 3 turns of the starter cord on the starter pulley. Fit the starter pulley so that the end of the recoil spring (D) hooks into the starter pulley. Now assemble the drive disc spring, drive disc and the bolt in the centre of the pulley. Carry the starter cord

through the hole in the starter housing and the starter handle. Tie a good knot on the starter cord.

Tensioning the recoil spring

•Hook the starter cord in the notch in the pulley and turn the starter pulley about 2 turns clockwise.

Note! Check that the pulley can be turned at least a further 1/2 turn when the starter cord is pulled all the way out.

Stretch the line with the handle. Move your thumb and release the line. See the ﬁgure below.
