The magnapull rope starter
When you intend to start the Raket 120 engine, you close the choke of the
carburettor and push the decompression valve. Then you should remember
two simple rules:
never just pull out the rope. Grab the rope handle and pull out the rope
slowly until you feel that the starter mechanism has engaged the engine.
Then you pull the rope with a powerful stroke.
never pull out the full length of the rope. Test once, slowly, to extend the full
length of the rope. Notice this length, and then never pull it out so far again.
Because, the life length of the starter rope is very long, subject that you
don’t pull it to the end. Even if the end of the rope is protected by a sleeve,
it is the full extension of the rope that cuts off the knot at the end.
Service
If the rope is broken, always replace it with an original dyneemic rope with
string lock (part No 3075), or at least a rope of exactly the right length (1150
mm). This is how you assemble the starter again:
first check the starter coil spring. If it is dirty, blow it or wipe it clean. Don’t
put oil or grease on it, unless you have special oil for coiled springs. Coil
in the spring in the cassette. Put the protective washer in the bottom of the
cavity for the spring, then the spring in its cassette .
take a new dynamic rope and make a knot at one end. You may find it sui

table to burn the end of the rope with a cigarette lighter flame before you tie
the knot, but don’t burn the rope, as this will cause it to break more easily.
Put the protective sleeve on the free end of the rope and slide it all the way
to the end with the knot. Thread the rope through the hole in the rope disk
(don’t forget the string lock), you find it near the centre (see figure). Then
thread the rope from the inside and out through the fan cover, and finally
through the starter handle. Before you make a nice knot at the free end of
the rope, remember to thread the washer that takes up the pulling force on
the rope.
finally engage the slotted part of the rope disk with the inner end of the coi

led spring. While doing this, make sure that the rope comes out through the
opening slot at the periphery of the rope disk. Assemble the parts No 55393
and 3131 and secure the disk with screw No 55156.
Finally, grab the end of the rope that comes out through the slot at the
periphery of the disk, and turn the rope disk clockwise three turns. Hold the
rope disk with the slot adjacent to the entrance of the starter rope in the
fan cover. Pull the rope by the starter handle and release the handle. The
spring will now pull the rope into the fan cover. Repeat this action until all
the rope is coiled into the fan cover when the starter handle is released.
The centrifugal clutch
When the engine is idling, the centrifugal clutch shall disengage the engine
from whatever the engine is powering. E.g. when used to power a gokart,
you release the accelerator pedal and the kart comes to a halt, the engine
shall continue to run on idle speed. When you increase the rpm of the
