Assembly Procedure
1. Reverse the disassembly procedure. The
starter dogs with the dog springs must snap
back to the center of the pulley (disengaged
position). When the rope is pulled, the tabs
on the retainer must be positioned so that they
will force the starter dogs to engage the starter
cup. (diag. 6 & 7)
2. Install a new recoil spring if necessary by
pushing the new spring out of the holder into
the pulley cavity while aligning the outside
spring hook into the deep notch in the pulley.
Push the spring cover in until seated.
3. Always replace the center spring pin with a
new one upon reassembly. Place the two new
plastic washers between the center leg of the
starter and the retainer. New plastic washers
are provided with a new center spring pin.
Discard the old plastic washer.
4. Place the rewind on a flat surface and drive
the new center pin in until it is within 1/8"
(3.175 mm) of the top of the starter.
NOTE:
DO NOT DRIVE THE CENTER PIN
IN TOO FAR.
The retainer will bend and the starter dogs
will not engage the starter cup. On the
stamped steel starter the center pin should
be driven in until it contacts the shoulder in
the starter housing.
5. Replacing rope wind the starter pulley
counterclockwise four or five turns to pre-load
the recoil spring and thread the rope through
the starter housing eyelet. Pull enough rope
through to tie a temporary knot in the rope.
Reattach the starter handle to the rope using
a left-hand knot. Untie the temporary knot and
allow the rope to recoil.

Disassembly Procedure
1. After removing the rewind assembly from the
engine blower housing, remove the starter
handle by first pulling a length of rope out
using the handle, tying a temporary knot in
the exposed rope, and either untying the knot
in handle or prying out the staple.
2. Untie the temporary knot and slowly allow the
rope to fully retract into the starter housing
and the recoil spring to fully unwind.
3. Remove the decal from the center of the
starter housing.
