Disassembly procedure
1. After removing the starter assembly from the air
conveyor, release the tension on the rewind spring by
removing handle and allowing rope to feed back into
starter housing.
2. Place a ¾" (19 mm) deep reach socket inside the
retainer pawl. Set the rewind on a bench supported
on the socket.
3. Using a 5/16" (8 mm) roll pin punch, drive out the
centre pin.
4. All components that are in need of service should be
replaced.
CAUTION ! REWIND SPRING IS NOT IN A CANISTER.
Care must be used when handling the pulley containing
spring because the rewind spring and cover is held by
the bosses in the cover.
Assembly procedure
1. Reverse the above listed procedure keeping in mind
that the starter dogs with the dog springs must snap
back to the centre of the pulley.
2. Always replace the centre pin with a new pin upon
reassembly. Also place the two new plastic washers
between the centre leg and retainer pawl.
Discard old plastic washer. The new plastic washers
will be provided along with the new centre pin.
3. Check retainer pawl. If it is worn, bent or damaged in
any manner, replace upon reassembly.
Tap the new centre pin in until it is within 1/8" (3 mm)
of the top of the starter.
CAUTION ! Driving the centre pin in too far will cause
the retainer pawl to bend and the starter dogs will not
engage the starter cup.
