Starter device

WARNING!
• When the recoil spring is
assembled in the starter housing,
it is in tensioned position and can
when treated carelessly, pop out
and cause injuries.
• Always be careful, when
changing the recoil spring or the
starter cord. Always wear safety
goggles for eye protection.
Changing a broken or worn starter cord
• Loosen the screws, that hold the starter
device against the crankcase and remove the
starter device.
• Pull out the cord approx. 30 cm and lift it up
into the notch in the pulley. Zero-set the
recoil spring by letting the pulley rotate slowly
backwards. Undo the screw in the centre of
the pulley and remove the pulley.
• Insert and fasten a new starter cord in the
pulley. Wind approx. 3 turns of the starter
cord on to the pulley. Assemble the starter
pulley against the recoil spring, so the end of
the spring engages to the pulley. Fit the
screw in the centre of the pulley. Carry the
starter cord through the hole in the starter
housing and the starter handle. Make a knot
on the starter cord.
Tensioning the recoil spring
Lift the starter cord up in the notch on the starter
pulley and turn the starter pulley 2 turns clockwise.
NOTE! Check that the starter pulley can
be turned at least half a turn, when the
starter cord is entirely pulled out.
Changing the broken recoil spring
• Lift the starter pulley. (See, Changing a
broken or worn starter cord). The recoil
spring is disassembled from the starter
device, with its inside facing down. Tap the
starter lightly against a working bench or
similar.
• Put a new recoil spring in the right position. 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.
Starter device assembly
• Assemble the starter device, by pulling the
starter cord out first, then place the starter
against the crankcase. Then slowly release
the starter cord so that the pulley engages
with the pawls.
• Assemble and tighten the screws, which hold
the starter.
