Disassembly
If starting rope breaks or if starting spring fails, the
following procedure should be followed.
NOTE: Handle rewind springs with extreme caution.
1. To remove starter from engine, remove four
mounting bolts. Refer to Figure
7-2.
2.
Hold washer (Key 7) in position with thumb
while removing retainer ring (Key 6) with a
screwdriver.
3.
Remove washer (Key 7), spring (Key 8),
washers (Keys 9 and 1 0) then remove friction
shoe assembly (Keys 11, 12, 13, and 14).
4.
Prevent rewind spring from escaping from
cover by carefully lifting rotor about 1 /2 inch
and detach inside spring loop from rotor.
NOTE: If spring should escape, it can easily be
replaced in cover by coiling in turns.
Starting Rope Replacement
1 . When installing a new rope (Key 16) in rotor,
thread through rotor hole, then wind rope onto
rotor,.as explained in "Reassembly." Replace
handle and washer, if used, and tie a double
knot in the end of the rope.
Rewind Spring Replacement
1 . Start with the inside loop, remove spring care-
fully from cover by pulling out one loop at a
time, holding back the rest of the turns. When
replacing with new spring, note the position of
spring loop.

2.
Spring holders furnished with replacement
springs simplify the assembly procedure. Place
spring in proper position as shown, with the
outside loop engaged around the pin. Then
press the spring into cover cavity thus releas-
ing the spring holder. A few drops of SAE 20
or 30 oil should then be applied to spring and
light grease on cover shaft.
Reassembly
1 . Replace washers (Keys 9 and 1 0) , friction
shoe assembly, washers (Keys 9 and 1 0) ,
spring (Key 8), washer (Key 7), and retaining
ring (Key 6) .
2.
Starter rope is now completely wound on rotor
in the direction shown in Figure
7-2.
3.
The starter will be damaged if not centered
properly. To insure the proper centering of the
starter, pull out the centering pin (Key 19)
about 1 /8". Place the starter on the four
screws, make sure the centering pin engages
the centerhole in the crankshaft and press into
position. Hold the starter with one hand and
place the lock washers and nuts on the screws
and tighten securely.
Reinstalling Starter On Engine:
1. To align the starter, place it on the blower
housing in the desired position, with the cen-
tering pin engaged in the center hole of the
crankshaft. (If the centering pin is too short to
reach the crankshaft, use a pair of pliers and
pull the pin out to the correct length.)
