Tensioning the rewind spring
:
Make a loop in the unwound
starter rope and use it to turn
the rope rotor six full revolutions
counterclockwise.
Hold the rotor steady –
straighten the twisted rope –
release the rotor –
let go of rope slowly so that it winds
onto the rotor.

The starter grip must be firmly seated in
the rope guide bush.
If grip droops to one side:
Add one more turn on rope rotor to
increase spring tension.
:
When the starter rope is fully
extended it must be possible to
rotate the rotor another half turn.
If this is not the case, the spring is
overtensioned and could break.
Take one turn of rope off the rotor.
: Fit the starter cover.
To do this, push the upper mounting
boss under the shroud –
line up the tank and push lower part
of cover onto the tank.
:
Insert and tighten down the housing
screws.
Secure cable lug in position (if
fitted).
