REWIND STARTER
TYPE I
The rewind starter on the engine can be disassembled
by using the following steps.
1. After removing the rewind from the engine blower
housing release the tension on the rewind spring.
2. Place a 3/4' deep reach socket inside the retainer
pawl. Set the rewind on a bench, supported on the
socket.
3. Using a 5/16 roll pin punch, drive out the center pin.
4. All components that are in need of service should
be replaced.
THIS REWIND SPRING IS NOT IN A CANISTER.
Care must be used when handling the pulley
because the rewind spring and cover is held by the
bosses in the pulley.
TO REASSEMBLE THE REWIND STARTER:
1. Reverse the above listed procedure keeping in mind
that the starter dogs with the dog springs must snap
back to the center of the pulley.
2. Always replace the center pin with a new pin upon
reassembly. Also add an additional plastic washer
(two total) upon reassembly. This washer will be
provided along with the new center pin.
3. Check retainer pawl. If it is worn, bent or damaged
in any manner replace upon reassembly.
Tap the new center pin in until it is within 1/8 of an
inch of the top of the starter.
CAUTION:
Driving the center pin in too far will cause
the retainer pawl to bend and the starter dogs will not
engage the starter cup.
TYPE II
Starters use a new wedge and post system which is
serviced in the following steps.
1. Remove decal covering the pin wedge.
2. Use a small screw driver to pry out the wedge.
3. Next use a needle nose pliers to compress the
retainer assembly and push it out.
4. Inspect all parts and replace using the Parts Look
Up system by model and specification numbers.
5. Always replace the retainer and retainer wedge.
