rear side of rope rotor
Bottom:
Starter rope secured in rope rotor
with knot

the rope rotor. Thread one end of
a new 4.5 mm (3/16") dia. and
1000 mm (39 7/16") long rope
through the side of the rope rotor
and then, from the underside,
into the inner hole and pull it up
to the top side. Secure the rope
with a simple overhand knot.

knot locates in the recess in the
rope rotor.

through the guide bush from in-
side the fan housing and through
the starter grip. Secure with one

Replacing the Rewind

6.4

Spring

Top:
Prying spring loop off the lug
Bottom:
1 = Annular groove in fan housing
2 = Pads on spring housing
- Remove the rope rotor, see 6.2,
and pry out the spring housing.
Use pliers to remove the bits of
the broken spring from the fan
housing.
Note: New rewind spring housings
have six raised pads on their cir-
cumference and there is an annu-
lar groove in the spring seat of
new fan housings (see illustration).
This prevents axial movement of
the spring. Rewind springs with
pads can also be installed in fan
housings which have no annular
groove.
