Reassembly

Install Electric Starter

1. Install the electric starter to the closure plate
and secure with the two #10-24 hex nuts. Make
sure the wires are clear of any moving parts and
torque the hex nuts to 3.6 N·m (32 in. lb.). See
Figure 10-52.
Figure 10-52. Installing Electric Starter.

Install Ignition Module

1. Rotate the flywheel so the magnet is away
from the ignition module bosses. Using the hex
flange screws, install the ignition module to the
crankcase bosses with the kill terminal up. Move
the module as far from the flywheel as possible.
Tighten the hex flange screws sufficiently to keep
the module in position. See Figure 10-53.

2. Rotate the flywheel to align the magnet with the
ignition module.
3. Insert a 0.25 mm (0.010 in.) flat feeler gauge
between the magnet and ignition module. See
Figure 10-54. Loosen the screws so the magnet
pulls the module against the feeler gauge.
Figure 10-54. Setting Air Gap.
4. Torque the two screws to 6.0 N·m (55 in. lb.), into
new, as-cast holes, or 4.0 N·m (35 in. lb.), into
used holes.
5. Rotate the flywheel back and forth checking
for clearance between the magnet and ignition
module. Make sure the magnet does not strike
the module. Recheck the air gap with a feeler
gauge and readjust if necessary. Final Air Gap:
0.203/0.305 mm (0.008/0.012 in.).
6. Connect the kill lead to the tab terminal on the
ignition module.
7. If equipped with a sheathed RFI suppression
spark plug lead, place the lead in retaining clip so
braided wires will be in direct contact with clip
when closed. Carefully close the clip with a pliers
until a 0.127 mm (0.005 in.) gap exists between
the ends. Do not pinch or flatten the clip. See
Figure 10-55.
