Unscrewing the fan housing Special knots Fitting the spring clip
First unscrew the fan housing
together with the rewind starter. Then
release tension on rewind spring. To
do this, pull starter rope partly out of
the housing, hold the rope rotor firmly
and takeoff two or three turns of the
starter rope. Let go of rope rotor- it
will turn back and the rewind spring is
then relieved of preload.
There will, of course, be no preload
on the rewind spring if the starter rope
is broken. Now remove the deflector
and use a screwdriver or pliers to
prise the spring clip off the starter
post. Then take the washer, rope
rotor and pawl off the starter post.
Remove rope residue from rope rotor,
thread a new 3.5 mm dia. and 960
mm long starter rope through the rope
rotor are secure it with an overhand
knot. Push the other end of the rope
through the hole in the fan housing
and through the underside of the
starter grip and secure it with a
special knot.
Lubricate the starter post with
nonresinous oil. Slip rotor onto starter
post and turn it to and fro to engage
loop of rewind spring in recess of
annular rib. Now fit washer on starter
post and pawl in the rotor. Use a
screwdriver or suitable pair of pliers to
fit spring clip on the starter post,
making sure that its loop faces
clockwise and engages on the pawl's
guide pin. Finish off by tensioning the
rewind spring (5.6).
