Recoil Starter (500 cc)
741-066A
REMOVING
1. Tie a slip-knot in the starter rope below the console
and allow the rope to slowly retract against the
starter case.
2. Remove the knot at the handle, remove the handle,
and account for the handle cap; then thread the rope
through the bushing in the console.
3. Remove the cap screws (A) securing the starter
assembly to the magneto case; then remove the
starter assembly.
DISASSEMBLING
1. Secure the recoil starter in a vise.
2. Rotate the roller (B) counterclockwise until the notch
of the roller is near the rope guide in the case. Guide
the rope into the notch and slowly allow the roller to
retract until all recoil spring tension is released.
3. While exerting downward pressure on the friction
plate (C), remove the nut and washer (D).
4. Slowly release the plate and lift the plate with fric-
tion spring (E) free of the recoil roller; then remove
the friction spring from the plate.
5. Remove the pawl (F); then remove the return spring (G).
6. Carefully lift the roller free of the case making sure
the main spring (H) does not disengage from the
case.
7. Remove the main spring (H) from the case by lifting
the spring end up and out. Hold the remainder of the
spring with thumbs and alternately release each
thumb to allow the spring to gradually release from
the case.
NOTE: Do not remove the main spring unless
replacement is necessary. It should be visually
inspected in place to save time.
8. Unwind the rope from the roller, untie the slip-knot,
and remove the rope.
CLEANING AND INSPECTING
1. Clean all recoil starter components.
2. Inspect all springs, washers, and pawl for wear or
damage.
3. Inspect the roller and case for cracks or damage.
4. Inspect the center hub for wear, cracks, or damage.
5. Inspect the rope for breaks or fraying.
6. Inspect the main spring for cracks, crystallization, or
abnormal bends.
7. Inspect the handle for damage, cracks, or deteriora-
tion.
ASSEMBLING
1. Hook the end of the main spring around the mount-
ing lug in the case.
2. Insert the main spring into the case; then wind it in a
counterclockwise direction until the complete spring
is installed.
NOTE: The main spring must seat evenly in the
recoil case.
3. Insert the rope through the hole in the roller and tie a
knot in the end; then wrap the rope counterclockwise
around the roller leaving approximately 20 in. of
rope free of the roller.
4. Apply low-temperature grease to the main spring and
hub.
5. Align the hook in the end of the main spring with the
notch in the roller; then carefully slide the roller over
the hub and engage the spring with the roller.
6. Install the return spring making sure the end is prop-
erly installed in the hole in the roller; then install the
pawl making sure the return spring is properly pre-
loaded.
7. Slide the end of the rope through the rope guide of
the case; then tie a slip-knot in the rope.
