Changing a broken or worn starter cord
• Loosen the screws that hold the starter against the
crankcase and remove the starter.
• Pull out the cord approx. 30 cm and hook it into the notch
in the rim of the pulley. Release the recoil spring by letting
the pulley rotate slowly backwards.
• Undo the screw in the centre of the pulley and remove the
pulley. Insert and fasten a new starter cord to the pulley.
Wind approx. 3 turns of the starter cord onto the pulley.
Connect the pulley to the recoil spring so that the end of
the spring engages in the pulley. Fit the screw in the
centre of the pulley. Insert the starter cord through the
hole in the starter housing and the starter handle. Make a
secure knot in the end of the starter cord.
