MAINTENANCE

Starter

Changing a broken or worn starter cord

• Loosen the screws that hold the starter against the

crankcase and remove the starter.

• Pull out the cord approx. 30 cm (12 inches) and hook it

into the notch in the rim of the pulley. Release the recoil

spring by letting the pulley rotate slowly backwards.

• Undo the screw in the centre of the pulley and remove the

pulley. Insert and fasten a new starter cord to the pulley.

Wind approx. 3 turns of the starter cord onto the pulley.

Connect the pulley to the recoil spring so that the end of

the spring engages in the pulley. Fit the screw in the

center of the pulley. Insert the starter cord through the

hole in the starter housing and the starter handle. Make a

secure knot in the end of 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 an additional 1/

2 turn when the starter cord is pulled all the way out.

Changing a broken recoil spring

• Lift off the pulley. See instructions under heading

Changing a broken or worn starter cord.

• Remove the recoil spring from inside the pulley by tapping

the pulley lightly with its inside face downwards against a

work bench or the like. If the spring pops out during ﬁtting,

wind it up again, working from the outside in towards

centre.

• Lubricate the recoil spring with light oil. Fit the pulley and

tension the recoil spring.

Fitting the starter

• To ﬁt the starter, ﬁrst pull out the starter cord and place the

starter in position against the crankcase. Then slowly

release the starter cord so that the pulley engages with

the pawls.

• Fit and tighten the screws that hold the starter.

!

WARNING! When the recoil spring is wound

up in the starter housing it is under tension

and can, if handled carelessly, pop out and

cause personal injury.

Care must be exercised when replacing the

return spring or the starter cord. Wear

protective glasses and protective gloves.
