MAINTENANCE
TENSIONING THE RECOIL SPRING
• Lift the starter cord up into the notch on the starter pulley
(Figure 4) and wind the pulley clockwise 5 full turns.
Remove the cord from the pulley notch while pinching the
pulley. Release the pulley slowly allowing it to wind the rope
counterclockwise onto the pulley.
• When completed, the starter handle should be pulled back
in the starter housing under it’s own tension.
• To check that the starter pulley was assembled correctly,
pull the cord completely out of the housing, grip the pulley
and turn clockwise another ½ turn. If the pulley turns another
½ turn it is correctly assembled.
STARTER HOUSING ASSEMBLY
• To reattach the starter housing, first pull the starter cord
out, then hold the starter housing against the crankcase
(Figure 5). Slowly release the starter cord to enable the
pulley to fit between the pawls.
• Insert and tighten the screws. Use blue Loctite # 242.
