Step 1. Allow the rope to SLOWLY wind
into the starter. Before the rope end passes
the cowling, firmly grasp the starter pulley,
and then allow the starter to unwind.

Notice the hook of the starter spring
protruding out of a hole in the starter.
Grasp the spring hook with a pair of needle-

as possible, to relieve tension on the
spring.

hand, and at the same time LOOSEN the
large bolt from the center of the starter.
DO NOT remove this bolt at this time.
Remove the starter from the engine.

to accomplish other work, install a 3/8" x 16
nut onto the far side of the thru-bolt to hold
the starter together and prevent the spring
from escaping.
