Replacing the return spring
Remove the starter housing (see “Replacing the starter ca-
ble”).
Take the air guide off the starter housing (see “Replacing the
starter cable”).
Take off circlip (1) (circlip pliers, see “Accessories”).
Remove the cable pulley (2).
Unscrew screw (3).
Evenly lever the return spring (4) out of the catch using a
screwdriver or similar tool. Be extremely careful - the return
spring is under tension and can pop out of its housing!
CAUTION! Injury hazard! Wear eye protection and work
gloves when performing this work!
Replacement return springs are delivered already tensioned in
the housing. CAREFUL - the spring can pop out. If it does, it
can be put back in as shown in the diagram (observe the
direction of rotation).
Before installing the new return spring (4) in the starter hous-
ing, grease it lightly with multipurpose grease, Order No. 944
360 000. Then position it and press it until the tabs (5) engage
in the slots.
Do not grease the cable drum (2) or bearing journal!
Screw in bolt (3) but do not tighten it hard.
Turn the cable pulley slightly when putting it back on, until you
hear it catch. Put the circlip back on.
Wind on the starter cable (see above under “Replacing the
starter cable”).
Reinstall the air guide (see Fig. A)
When putting the starter housing back on, it may be necessary
to pull the starter handle slightly until the starting mechanism
engages.
Guide the cable into the recess (24) on the cable drum and use
the cable to turn the drum two turns in the direction shown by
the arrow.
Holding the cable drum in your left hand, straighten out the twist
in the cable with your right hand, pull the cable tight, and hold.
Release the cable drum. The drum´s spring force will now wind
the cable around the drum.
Repeat three times. The starter grip must be upright on the
starter housing.
NOTE: With the cable pulled all the way out, it must still be
possible to turn the pulley another 1/4 turn against the return
spring.
CAUTION!
Injury hazard! When you pull out the starter cable hold the
starter handle firmly. It will whip back if the cable pulley is
released by accident.
Install the air guide in reverse order (see figure G, page 23).
Make sure that the nub (25) fits into the slot (26) in the starter
housing.
When putting the starter housing back on, it may be necessary
to pull the starter handle slightly until the starting mechanism
engages.
