9- Bring the short end of the rope
through the loop just formed.

Work the short end back through the
anchor, as shown.

12- Feed the rope through the front en-
gine cowling, and then install the starter
rope handle. Hold tension on the rope with
the handle and at the same time, remove
the pliers from underneath the pinion gear.
Allow the starter rope to wind onto the
spool. After the rope has been wound onto
the spool, the starter handle should be up
tight against the engine cowling. If the
handle is not up tight against the cowling
the rope was installed too long and needs to
be shortened.
PINION GEAR ALL 9.5 HP 9-11
9-3 TYPE I STAR TER
CYLINDER WITH PINION GEAR
ALL 9.5 HP ENGINES
This gear-drive starter is a new design
employing the principle of an automotive
type starter motor. When the starter rope
is pulled, the starter rotates, and a nylon
pinion gear slides upward and engages the
flywheel ring gear. The gear automatically
disengages when the engine starts. The
ratio between the pinion gear and the ring
on the flywheel has been selected to provide
maximum cranking speed with minimum
pulling effort to ensure fast, easy engine
start.

engine. Lift the pinion gear to engage the
flywheel ring gear. Hold the pinion gear
