AIR GAP
Using a feeler guage, measure the air gap between the
flywheel and the coil. The measurement should be

adjust the air gap. See Figure 29.

FLYWHEEL REMOVAL
IMPORTANT:
If any of the air fins on the fly-
wheel break off for any reason, a serious imbal-
ance and resulting vibration and damage to the
engine will occur.
11.1. Remove the spark plug from the engine.
11.2. Place a length of starter cord into the spark plug
opening. This will ease removal of the flywheel.
11.3. Using a T-25 Torx wrench, remove the four
screws attaching the starter housing assembly to
the housing assembly.
11.4. Remove the housing from the unit.
