Vertical Pull Starter Horizontal Engagement Type - Tecumseh ECV100-120 - TECHNICIAN S Handbook

2. Place the pulley assembly into the starter housing.
3. Install the brake spring, starter dog(s), and starter
dog return spring(s). The starter dog spring(s) must
hold the dog(s) in against the pulley. On Snow King
engines the starter dog posts should be lubricated
with S.A.E. 30 engine oil.
4. Replace the retainer cup (cam dog on snow proof
starter) and retainer screw. Tighten to 65 - 75 in. lbs.
Older models that use a 10 - 32 retainer screw can
be replaced with a larger 12 - 28 screw (part #
590409A). Re-drill the screw hole using a 13/64"
(4.35 mm) drill bit. The center screw torque on cast
aluminum starters is 115 to 135 in. lbs (13 - 15 Nm)
(diag. 11 & 12).
5. Add-on alternator starters must have the center
tubular rivet replaced each time the tubular rivet is
removed. The tubular rivet should be pressed to a
depth of 1/4" (3.175 mm) from the top of the starter
housing. Skip this step if not applicable.
6. Apply tension to the recoil spring by winding the pulley
counterclockwise until it becomes tight, then allow
the pulley to unwind until the hole in the pulley lines
up with the rope eyelet in the starter housing. Install
a knotted rope through the pulley and the eyelet and
install the handle. A left-hand knot should be tied on
the end of the rope to secure the handle.
7. If a centering pin is used, be sure to align with the
crankshaft (bottom pin in center screw hole). Install
nylon sleeve 1/8" (3.175 mm) onto pin. Position nylon
sleeve in aligning recess in the crankshaft. START
two mounting screws in blower housing 90
With sleeve centered in crankshaft, gently push the
starter in place, tighten the two mounting screws,
insert and tighten the other two screws.
