7.2 Replacing a broken or worn starter
cord
When the starter cord is worn and must be replaced,
the tension in the recoil spring must be released.
1
Pull out the starter cord about 30 cm. Release the
tension in the recoil spring by letting the starter
pulley rotate anti-clockwise. See Figure 4.
WARNING!
If the spring tension is activated on
the starter pulley, the spring can fly
out and cause personal injury.
Use protective goggles.
2
Push the free end of the cord in the
hole in the starter pulley. Take hold of the end with
pointed pliers inside the pulley and pull out the
cord. See Figure 5.
3
Pull out the cord through the hole in the housing
and fit the handle and secure it with a double knot.
See Figure 5.
Do a cord tension check before fitting the starter to
the crankcase.
Cleaning and checking
•
Clean and check carefully all components.
Worn or damaged parts must be replaced.
Lubricate the recoil spring with a light oil.
7.3 Tensioning the recoil spring
1
Twist the starter cord around the starter pulley about
three times and fasten the screw in the centre of the
starter pulley. Pull out the starter cord in the sprocket
and turn the starter pulley about 3 turns clockwise.
See Figure 6.
2
Stretch the cord with the starter handle. Remove
your thumb and let the cord spin back as outlined
in Figure 7. Check that the starter pulley can be
turned at least a further 1/2 turn when the starter
cord is pulled all the way out.
