MAINTENANCE
TENSIONING THE RECOIL SPRING
• Lift the starter cord up into the notch on the starter pulley
(Figure ) and wind the pulley clockwise 5 full turns.
Remove the cord from the pulley notch while pinching the
pulley. Release the pulley slowly allowing it to wind the rope
counterclockwise onto the pulley.
• When completed, the starter handle should be pulled back in
the starter housing under it’s own tension.
• To check that the starter pulley was assembled correctly, pull
the cord completely out of the housing, grip the pulley and turn
clockwise another 1/2 turn. If the pulley turns another 1/2 turn it
is correctly assembled.

STARTER HOUSING ASSEMBLY
• To reattach the starter housing, first pull the starter cord out,
then hold the starter housing against the crankcase (Figure 5).
Slowly release the starter cord to enable the pulley to fit
between the pawls.

®
#22.
