o
Remove the fixing screws retaining the coil.
o
Remove the starting coil and gently pull the wire.
o
Install the new starting coil.
o
Re-install the parts that had been removed, proceeding
in the reverse order.
Positioning the starting coil
When removing or replacing the starting coil or the magnetic
flywheel, it is important to verify and to adjust the gap between
the starting coil and the bulge on the flywheel. This adjustment
is aimed at making sure the play between these pieces is
minimal - without contact at any speed - so that the starting coil
can produce adequate electrical power.
Follow this procedure:
o
Turn the flywheel so that one bulge is in line with the
starting coil.
o
Using a 0.45 mm (.018 in) to 0.55 mm (.022 in)
thickness gauge, check the gap between the central
pole of the starting coil and the flywheel offset.
1. Flywheel offset
2. Starting coil
o
Make any necessary adjustments by unscrewing the
mounting screws and moving the starting coil nearer to
the offset or farther away.
o
Tighten the screws and check the gap once again.
To replace the plate
o
Disconnect the 2 connectors.
o
Remove the connectors of the yellow wires with black
stripes, and of the yellow, the green and then the white
wires from their casings.
o
Remove the grommet from the housing in the place
where the bundle of wires comes out of the magneto
housing.
o
Remove the mounting screws from the stator plate.
o
Remove the stator plate with the stator and pull the
wires carefully.
o
Install the new parts and the other parts which had been
removed.
