NOTE: If the starter rope is not broken, it will be
necessary to relieve tension from it before
removing the starter pulley.
3.26. Examine the pulley and spring for wear and
damage. Look for straightened ends on the
spring. Look for rounded edges on the teeth of
the starter pulley. See Figure 3.26.

3.30. As the starter is reassembled, apply a sparing
amount of white lithium grease to the friction sur-
faces of the starter pulley.
3.31. Pay close attention to the routing of the stop
switch wires.
3.32. Wind tension onto the starter rope after the pul-
ley is in place, but before the baffle is installed.
It will be necessary to use caution nut to pull
upward on the rope, dislodging the pulley from
the spring. Light thumb pressure on top of the
pulley is advised. See Figure 3.32.
3.33. If the starter pawls on the flywheel are worn or
damaged, remove the flywheel. See Figure 3.33.
