Starter mechanism
Replacing starter rope with starter
pulley in place
Dismantling
The engine starter rope can be replaced without re-
moving the starter pulley (3).
Pull out about 40 cm of rope (1) from the cover (2),
and lay the rope in the notch (A) in the starter pulley
(3), see Fig. 3.
Release the spring tension by rotating the starter pulley
clockwise until there is no longer any spring tension.
Use a pair of pliers to pull out the rope knot from the
starter handle (1). Cut off the knot and pull the rope
out from the handle.
Using a pair of pliers pull out the rope knot from the
pulley wheel (2) and remove the rope completely.
Reassembly
Rotate the starter pulley anticlockwise until the hole
in the starter pulley aligns with the rope bush in the
starter cover.
Pass a new rope through the hole in the starter pul
-
ley and on through the rope bush in the cover.
Pass the rope through the handle, and make a knot
at the end of the rope. Pull the knot back into the
handle. Turn the starter pulley anticlockwise until the
notch (A) aligns with the rope bush in the cover
Pull out the rope and lay it in the notch. Rotate the
starter pulley anticlockwise for five turns. Support the
starter pulley securely.
Take the rope from the notch, release the starter pul
-
ley and allow the rope to wind up slowly.
IMPORTANT! Check the spring tension by pulling
the starter rope out to its full extent. It must then be
possible to rotate the starter pulley for a further half
turn anticlockwise.
If this is not possible, the spring is over-tensioned
and the spring tension must be released by one
turn.
