7.2 Changing a broken or worn starter
cord
When the starter cord is worn and must be replaced,
the tension on the return spring must be released.
1
Pull the cord out about 30 cm and lift it into the
notch on the outside of the starter pulley. Release
the tension on the return spring by allowing the
starter pulley to rotate slowly backwards.(see
fi gure 2)
WARNING!
If the spring tension is activated
on the starter pulley, the spring
can fl y out and cause personal
injury. Wear protective glasses.

Undo the bolt in the centre of the pulley and re-
move the pulley. (see fi gure 3)

Fit a new cord through the hole in the pulley and tie
a knot to secure it. Feed the other end of the cord
through the hole in the starter housing and through
the starter handle, then tie a double knot in the
end. Wind about 3 turns of the starter cord onto the
pulley. Fit the bolt through the centre of the pulley
and tighten to a torque of 2–3 Nm.
Cleaning and inspection
• Clean and inspect all parts carefully. If there
are any cracks or other defects replace the
damaged parts with new ones. Lubricate the
return spring with a little grease.
