Disassembly

Unscrewing the fan housing
First unscrew the fan housing
together with the rewind starter. Then
release tension on rewind spring. To
do this, pull starter rope partly out of
the housing, hold the rope rotor firmly
and takeoff two or three turns of the
starter rope. Let go of rope rotor- it
will turn back and the rewind spring is
then relieved of preload.
There will, of course, be no preload
on the rewind spring if the starter rope
is broken. Now remove the deflector
and use a screwdriver or pliers to
prise the spring clip off the starter
post. Then take the washer, rope
rotor and pawl off the starter post.
