5.1.9 Tensioning the return spring

➊ Form a loop with the unwound part of the
starter cord and using the loop rotate the
pulley by six turns in the direction shown by
the arrow.
➋ Holding the pulley in position, pull the twisted
cord outside the housing and let it untwist.
➌ Release the pulley and gently let go of the
cord so that it can wind itself round the pulley.
➍ Checking cord tension:
- If the starter unit handle drops to the side
once it has been released, this means that
there is not enough tension on the cord.
Tension the spring by putting an extra
turn on the pulley.
- If another half-turn cannot be made on the
pulley after the cord has been pulled right
out, this means that there is too much
tension on the cord.
Remove one turn of cord on the pulley.
➎ Put the cover back in place on the starter unit.
