5-6.5 ft. lbs. (7-9 Nm)
3. Install the spring, pin, new sealing washer, and
tensioner plug.
Tensioner Plug Torque:
14-19 ft. lbs. (20-25 Nm)
4. Slowly rotate engine two to three revolutions and
re-check cam timing.
STATOR INSTALLATION
NOTE: The stator, flywheel, starter drive, and recoil
can be assembled with the engine in the frame.
Stator
1. Apply a light film of grease to the crankshaft seal.
Apply molybdenum disulfide grease or assembly
lubricant to the crankshaft bushing.
2. Apply 3 Bond 1215 (P/N 2871557) to the stator
plate outer surface and install a new O-Ring.
3. Install the stator plate being careful not to damage
the seal. Align timing reference marks on the plate
and crankcase. Be sure the plate is fully seated.
NOTE: This is a static timing mark. Strobe timing
