Starter Cord; Recoil Spring - Husqvarna 357XP/G Workshop Manual

Cleaning and inspection
Clean the parts and check the following:
• The starter cord.
• The teeth on the pulley, lubricate with oil.
• That the pawls on the flywheel are undamaged,
i.e. that they spring back towards the centre and
move freely.
• Lubricate the return spring with light oil.
Replacing a broken or worn starter cord
1
Before replacing a worn starter cord the tension in the
recoil spring must be released. Pull the starter cord out
through the notch in the pulley rim and wind the pulley
anti-clockwise to release the tension in the spring.
2
Remove the bolt from the centre of the pulley and
lift off the pulley.
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 dam-
aged parts with new ones. Lubricate the return
spring with light oil.
Tensioning the recoil spring
1
Fasten the starter cord in the notch in the pulley
rim and wind the pulley about 2 turns clockwise.
Check that the pulley is free to rotate at least
another half turn when the starter cord is fully
extended.
