Assembly Procedure
NOTE:
This procedure covers three starters. Follow
illustration of your starter type as shown.
1. Place the rewind spring and keeper assembly
into the pulley. Turn the pulley to lock into
position. A light coating of grease should be
on the spring.
2. Place the pulley assembly into the starter
housing.
3. Install the brake spring, starter dog(s), and
starter dog return spring(s). The starter dog
spring(s) must hold the dog(s) in against the
pulley.
4. Replace the retainer cup (cam dog on snow
proof starter) and retainer screw. Tighten to
65 - 75 in. lbs. (7-8.5 Nm) Older models that
use a 10 - 32 retainer screw can be replaced
with a larger 12 - 28 screw (part # 590409A).
Re-drill the screw hole using a 13/64"
(5.159 mm) drill bit. The center screw torque
on cast aluminum starters is 115 to 135 in.
lbs. (13-15 Nm) (diag. 11).
5. Tension the recoil spring by winding the pulley
counterclockwise until it becomes tight, then
allow the pulley to unwind until the hole in the
pulley lines up with the rope eyelet in the
starter housing. Install a knotted rope through
the pulley and the eyelet and install the
handle. A left-hand knot should be tied on the
end of the rope to secure the handle.
