starter housing leg reinforcements as the pul-
ley is rotated later during reassembly.
4.
Install the pulley onto the center shaft.
If the pulley does not fully seat, it is resting on
the inner center spring coil. Rotate the pulley
slightly from side to side while exerting slight
downward pressure. This should move the in-
ner spring coil out of the way and allow the
pulley to drop into position.
The pulley is in position when the center shaft
is flush with the face of the pulley. Do not
wind the pulley and recoil spring at this time.
5.
Install the starter pawls into the appropriate
pockets in the pulley. Refer to Figure 7-21.

6.
Sparingly lubricate the underside of the 1-1/8"
DIA. washer with grease and install it over the
center shaft. Make sure the threads in center
shaft remain clean, dry, and free of grease or
oil.
7.
Sparingly lubricate the insides of the "legs" of
the brake spider with grease. Install the brake
to the retainer.
8.
Install the small return ring to the pawl re-
tainer. Make sure it is positioned properly.
9.
Position the pawl retainer and return spring
next to the small post on pulley. Install the
free loop of the return spring over the post.
Install the nylon spring retainer over the post.
10. Invert the pawl retainer over the pawls and
center hub of pulley. Take great care not to
damage
or
unhook the return spring. Make
sure the pawls are positioned in the slots of
pawl retainer.
11 . As a test, rotate the pawl retainer slightly
clockwise. Pressure from the return spring
should be felt. In addition, the pawl retainer
should return to its original position when re-
leased. If no spring pressure is felt
or
the re-
tainer does not return, the spring is damaged,
unhooked, or improperly assembled. Repeat

to correct the problem.
12. Sparingly lubricate the 1 /2" DIA. washer and
3/4" DIA. washer in the center of pawl re-
tainer. Make sure the threads in center shaft
remain clean, dry, and free of grease or oil.
13. Apply a small amount of Loctite #271 to the
threads of center screw. Install the center
screw to center shaft. Torque screw to

14. Rotate the pulley counterclockwise (when
viewed from the pawl side of pulley) until the
spring is tight. (Approximately 4 full turns of
pulley.) Make sure the fully extended rope is
held in the notch in pulley to prevent interfer-
ence with the housing leg reinforcements. Re-
fer to Figure 7-22.

15. Rotate the pulley clockwise until the notch is
aligned with the rope guide bushing of hous-
ing.
NOTE: Do not allow the pulley/spring to unwind.
Enlist the aid of a helper, or use a c-clamp to
hold pulley in position.
16. Insert the free end of rope through rope guide
bushing. Tie a temporary (slip) knot approxi-
mately 12" from the free end of the rope.
17. Hold the pulley firmly with thumbs and allow
the pulley to rotate slowly until the slip knot
reaches the rope guide bushing of housing.
Refer to Figure 7-23.
