ENGINE REMOVAL / INSTALLATION
When reinstalling the wire harness on electric start
models, route the wire as follows: The wire must come
out of the starter motor to one of the blower housing
screws (Figure 32). It then must run under the fuel tank
up to the left rear mount for the fuel tank (Figure 33),
then up to the switch box. Assure that the wires will not
rub on the starter rope or other moving objects.
