Carefully pull off the spark plug socket and choke

lever to" Choke" in direction of arrow. Unscrew spark plug
and cylinder head of air cleaner cover and take off cover
with air cleaner element.
For Types 015, 01,5 Land 015 L electronic, remove the 4
cylinder head screw at the hood and remove the hood
together with the starter assembly. Slide shortcircuit switch
toward" Stop" in direction of arrow.
For Types 015 AV and 015 AV electronic, remove 3 cylinder
head screws from the hood, 1 cylinder head screw from
the handle tube and 1 from the gripp shell. Take off hood
with starter assembly. Force the lock washer from the
starter axle and clear rope rotor from the starter axle first
by about 10 mm (0.4 in). Insert screwdriver bit of the combi-
nation wrench through the rope guide bore of the hood, use
it to push the rewind spring back and hold it in this position.
Now completely pUll the rope rotor off the starter axle.
Remove the remaining rope from the rotor, thread in a new
3.5 mm (0.14 in) dia., 960 mm (37.8 in) long rope and
anchor it to the rotor with a simple knot. Pass the other end
of the rope through the guide bore from inside, thread it
through the starter grip from below and fasten it with a
figure-eight knot.
Apply a few drops of non-resinous oil to the bearing
bushing of the rope rotor. Attach the rotor to the starter
axle, turning it back and forth until the inner eye of the re-
wind spring snaps into the recess of the rotor. Use the lock
washer for locking.
