Description; Removal And Disassembly - Johnson SKEE-HORSE 25-201R Service Manual

8-2
Figure 8-1
DESCRIPTION
The manual starter converts straight line motion to rotary motion
necessary to crank the engine. Pawls on the starter pulley engage the
flywheel ratchet when the starter rope handle is pulled. When the en-
gine starts, centrifugal force moves the pawls outward, disengaging
them from the ratchet. A recoil spring is wound as the rope is pulled
and unwinds as the starter handle is returned to the starter housing.
Never release handle at end of stroke, allowing rope to snap
back. Serious damage will result.
REMOVAL AND DISASSEMBLY
a. Raise hood.
b. Pull starter rope out and untie knot in handle while holding rope.
c. Ease rope back into starter until starter spring is fully unwound.
d. Remove three screws securing starter assembly to outer fan hous-
ing.
Because of the rewind spring, it is good practice to wear safety
glasses when disassembling and reassembling the manual
starter.
e. Remove screw (pulley to housing) and remove all components of
starter pulley spindle assembly. See Figure 8-2.
f.
Jar the housing, pulley side down, on bench to dislodge spring and
pulley from housing.
