MAINTENANCE
Starter
Replacing the 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 (A), drive disc spring (B) and the pulley (C).
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 (D) 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.
Stretch the line with the handle. Move your thumb and release
the line. See the figure below.
Replacing the return and drive 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.
Drive disc spring (B)
• Undo the bolt in the centre of the pulley and remove the
drive disc and the drive disc spring.
• Replace the drive disc spring and fit the drive disc above
the 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 or the starter cord. Wear
protective glasses and protective gloves.
