Repair instructions
Replacing a broken or worn starter cord
1
Before replacing a worn starter cord the tension in the
recoil spring must be released. Pull the starter cord out
through the notch in the pulley rim and wind the pulley
anti-clockwise to release the tension in the spring.
2
Remove the bolt from the centre of the pulley and
lift off the pulley.

Tensioning the recoil spring
1
Fasten the starter cord in the notch in the pulley
rim and wind the pulley about 2 turns clockwise.
Check that the pulley is free to rotate at least
another half turn when the starter cord is fully
extended.
Cleaning and inspection
Clean the parts and check the following:
• The starter cord.
• The teeth on the pulley, lubricate with oil.
• That the pawls on the flywheel are undamaged,
i.e. that they spring back towards the centre and
move freely.
• Lubricate the return spring with light oil.
Fit a new cord through the hole in the pulley and tie
a knot to secure it. Feed the other end of the cord
through the hole in the starter housing and through
the starter handle, then tie a double knot in the
end. Wind about 3 turns of the starter cord onto the
pulley. Fit the bolt through the centre of the pulley
and tighten to a torque of 2–3 Nm.
WARNING!
Make sure the recoil spring does
not fly out and cause injury. Wear
eye protection.
