HAND STARTERS
will fall and the spring will be released
from
the housing, but the three
legs will contain
the
spring
and
prevent
it
from
traveling
across
the
room.
If the
spring
was
not
released
from
the
housing,
the
only
safe
method is to jar the three
legs on the floor
to release
the spring.
Unwind the rope out
of the pulley groove, and then pull it free.
CLEANING
AND
INSPECTING
If the rope was broken and the spring is
bent backward,
as shown in the accompany-
ing illustration,
it is a simple matter
to bend
the spring end back to its normal
position.
The next illustration
clearly
shows a spring
end properly positioned in the housing.
Wash all parts except
the rope in solvent
and then
blow them
dry with
compressed
air.
Remove any trace
of corrosion
and wipe
all metal parts with an oil dampened
cloth.
Inspect
the rope.
Replace
the rope if it
appears
to be weak or frayed.
If the rope is
frayed,
check
the
hole
through
which
the
rope passes for rough edges or burrs.
Re-
move the rough edges or burrs with a file,
and polish the surface
until it is smooth.
The rope on this unit
broke,
causing
the spring
to
rewind with incredible
speed.
The end
of
the spring was
bent back in the wrong direction.
Inspect the starter
spring end loops.
Re-
place the spring
if it is weak,
corroded
or
cracked.
Check
the
spring
pin located
at
the back side of the
pulley to be sure it is
straight
and solid.
Check the inside surface
of the housing
and remove any burrs.
Check the condition
of the pawl springs
to
be sure
they
are
not
stretched
out
of
shape.
The end of each
spring
should
be
bent
back
toward
the
coil
of the
spring.
Inspect
the
pawls
for
wear
and that
the
edges are not rounded.
Inspect
the hub center
locating
pin to be
sure it is straight
and tight.
STARTER
ASSEMBLING
GOOD
WORDS
The
accompanying
illustration
shows
a
new starter
spring as it is purchased.
Note
how
the
spring
is
held
wound
with
"hog
rings".
The spring
MUST
be released
to its
full extended
position
before
it can be in-
stalled.
Therefore,
use care and remove the
"hog rings" and allow the spring to unwind
until it is a straight
piece of spring steel.
SAFETY
WORD
Wear a good pair of gloves while unwind-
ing and installing the spring.
The spring will
develop tension
and the edges of the spr ing
steel
are
sharp.
The gloves
will prevent
cuts on your hands and fingers.
A new spring
as it appears direct
from
the marine
store.
The hog rings must
be
CAREFULLY
removed,
as
described
in the text.
