Retractable Starter
Inspection and Service
1. Carefully inspect the rope, pawls, housing, center
screw, and other components for wear or
damage.
2. Replace all worn or damaged components. Use
only genuine Kohler replacement parts as
specified in the Parts Manual. All components
shown in Figure 7-1 are available as service
parts. Do not use nonstandard parts.
3. Do not attempt to rewind a spring that has come
out of the keeper. Order and install a new spring
and keeper assembly.
4. Clean all old grease and dirt from the starter
components. Generously lubricate the spring and
center shaft with any commercially available
bearing grease.
Reassembly
1. Make sure the spring is well lubricated with
grease. Place the spring and keeper assembly
inside the pulley (with spring toward pulley). See
