4. Install friction spring (D) in center hole of pulley (G).
5. Position pawl friction plate (C) on pulley, then install
shoulder screw (B). Torque screw to value shown in
Section 14 - Engine Specifications.
6. While holding pawl friction plate, rotate the pulley to
extend and retract the pawls. If they do not move
properly, remove and reinstall the friction plate.
7. Turn pulley counterclockwise until the spring is wound
tight. Then allow pulley to unwind slightly until the hole
in the pulley and the eyelet in the housing are lined up.
Secure pulley assembly with a screwdriver to prevent
it from spinning.
8. Insert one end of new rope through pulley (N) and rope
eyelet (P).
NOTE: Make sure that both ends of rope are sealed to
prevent fraying and ease installation. Sealing is typically
accomplished by melting rope ends.
