MAINTENANCE

Remove any remnants of the old starter cord and check 
that the return spring works. Insert the new starter cord 
through the hole in the starter housing and in the cord 
pulley. 

Secure the starter cord around the cord pulley as 
illustrated. Tighten the fastening well and ensure that the 
free end is as short as possible. Secure the end of the 
starter cord in the starter handle.

Tensioning the recoil spring

Guide the cord through the cut-out in the periphery of the 
pulley and wind the cord 3 times clockwise around the 
centre of the starter pulley.

Now pull the starter handle and in doing so tension the 
spring. Repeat the procedure once more, but this time 
with four turns.

Note that the starter handle is drawn to its correct home 
position after tensioning the spring.

Check that the spring is not drawn to its end position by 
pulling out the starter line fully. Slow the starter pulley with 
your thumb and check that you can turn the pulley at least 
a further half turn.

Changing a broken recoil spring

Undo the bolt in the centre of the pulley and remove the 
pulley.

Bear in mind that the return spring lies tensioned in the 
starter housing.

Loosen the bolts holding the spring cassette.

Remove the recoil spring by turning the starter over and 
loosen the hooks, with the help of a screwdriver. The 
hooks hold the return spring assembly on the starter.

Lubricate the recoil spring with light oil. Fit the pulley and 
tension the recoil spring.

Fitting the starter

To fit the starter, first pull out the starter cord and place the 
starter in position against the crankcase. Then slowly 
release the starter cord so that the pulley engages with 
the pawls.

Tighten the screws.

Fuel system

General

Check that the fuel cap and its seal are not damaged.

Check the fuel hose. Replace when damaged.

Fuel filter

The fuel filter sits inside the fuel tank.

The fuel tank must be protected from contamination when 
filling. This reduces the risk of operating disturbances 
caused by blockage of the fuel filter located inside the 
tank.

The filter cannot be cleaned but must be replaced with a 
new filter when it is clogged. 

The filter should be 

changed at least once per year.
