MAINTENANCE
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
to slowly rotate backwards.
•Undo the bolt in the centre of the pulley and remove the pulley. 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 against the starter so that the end of the return spring hooks into the starter housing. Fit the bolt into the centre of the starter 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
•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.
Changing the broken recoil spring
•Lift the starter pulley (see "Changing a broken or worn starter cord").
• Dissasemble 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.
