Recoil Starter cont.
It is necessary to increase the spring tension in the starter prior to use.
Rotate the spool counterclockwise several times with the rope hooked
into notch (A).
Hold the spool to prevent it from rewinding and pull the starter grip out
to take up the rope slack. Let the starter rewind slowly.
Pull starter several times to check the spring rewind tension. If the
starter is not rewinding fully, repeat the process described above.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The electrical system includes the flywheel (1), the coil (2), high tension
lead assembly (3) and the spark plug (4).
To remove the flywheel, it is first necessary to effectively stop the piston
from moving within the cylinder. This is easiest accomplished by
rotating the crankshaft until the piston is on a downward stroke, then
inserting several inches of starter rope into the spark plug hole. Upon
rising in the cylinder, the piston will contact the rope, and will not be
allowed to complete its cycle or crankshaft rotation. This will allow the
flywheel-mounting nut to be removed. The flywheel nut is right hand
threaded. Removal is in the counter clock-wise direction.
With the flywheel nut removed, a flywheel puller can be attached to
separate it from its' press fit to the crankshaft. Align the center bolt of
the puller with the indent in the end of the crankshaft, and thread at
least two carrier bolts through the puller and into the flywheel. Make
sure that at least several threads are utilized in attaching the carrier
bolts, as they will bear the load of pulling the flywheel loose. Damage to
these threads will require replacing the flywheel itself. With the puller
properly attached to the flywheel, use the T-handle to turn the center
pivot point until the flywheel comes loose from the crankshaft.
