Starter
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 (12 inches) 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 bolt in the centre of the pulley and remove
the drive disc, drive disc spring and the pulley. Insert
and secure a new starter cord in the starter pulley.
Wind approx. 3 turns of the starter cord on the starter
pulley. Fit the starter pulley so that the end of the recoil
spring hooks into the starter pulley. Now assemble the
drive disc spring, drive disc and the bolt in the centre
of the pulley. Carry the starter cord through the hole in
the starter housing and the starter handle. Tie a good
knot on the starter cord.
Tensioning the recoil spring
• Hook the starter cord in the notch in the pulley and
turn the starter pulley about 2 turns clockwise.
Note! Check that the pulley can be turned an
additional 1/2 turn when the starter cord is pulled all
the way out.
Replacement of broken recoil and drive
disc springs
Recoil spring (A)
• Lift up the starter pulley. See instructions under the
heading Changing a broken or worn starter cord.
Remember that the recoil spring is coiled under
tension in the starter housing.
• Remove the cassette with the recoil spring from the
starter.
• Lubricate the recoil spring with light oil. Fit the
cassette with recoil spring in the starter. Fit the starter
pulley and tension the recoil spring.
!
WARNING! When the recoil spring is
wound up in the starter housing it is
under tension and can, if handled
carelessly, pop out and cause personal
injury.
Care must be exercised when replacing
the return spring, starter cord or the
drive disc spring. Wear protective
glasses and protective gloves.
