ROPE REPLACEMENT. Prepare the rope, place a
thin 3/4'' (19.05 mm) diameter washer with a 1/4''
(3.175 mm) hole on the rope and tie a knot. The
other end of the rope should be thinned to a point
for easier threading.
Clamp the starter in a vise, upside down, by one
leg opposite the rope outlet. Place a screw driver
in the rope hole of the pulley and turn counterclockwise
until tight, then allow to unwind until hole in pulley
for rope lines up with hole in housing. Clamp the
pulley in this position with lever action pliers. Clamp
over starter housing and pulley, protect the painted
surface.
Insert the rope into the pulley hole and guide it with
needle nose pliers through the rope outlet in the
housing. Secure the handle with a double knot. Hold
the rope taut, release the pliers and allow the rope
to wind on the pulley.

CENTER SCREW
ASSEMBLING STARTER TO ENGINE. It is important
to center the starter hub containing the starter dogs
in the center cup so there is equal contact on all
the dogs into the teeth of the cup.
Before securing the starter with the mounting screws,
place the hub into the cup then pull the rope enough
to cause the starter dogs to equally engage in the
teeth. With the dogs securely in the cup, tighten
the mounting screws to 40-60 inch pounds
(4.5 - 6.8 Nm) torque. If mounting holes do not line
up, blower housing is bent and must be replaced.
