so the starter rope can rewind
properly.
Note:
The rewind spring is correctly
tensioned when the starter grip sits
firmly in the rope guide bush without
drooping to one side. If this is not
the case, tension the spring by one
additional turn.
When the starter rope is fully
extended, it must still be possible to
rotate the rope rotor at least another
half turn before maximum spring
tension is reached. If this is not the
case, pull the rope out, hold the
rope rotor steady and take off one
turn of the rope.
Do not overtension the rewind
spring as this will cause it to
break.
– Fit the fan housing - see 6.4.
The crankcase and tank housing
are connected by vibration damping
rubber buffers. Damaged rubber
buffers (annular buffers) must
always be replaced in sets.
Note:
When replacing annular buffers,
make sure you always install the
latest type.
Annular buffers must be replaced in
sets of the same hardness. Harder
buffers are installed for more
accurate control but reduced
vibration damping, while softer
butters provide better vibration
damping.
To remove the annular buffers at the
clutch side:
– Remove the chain sprocket cover
and cutting attachment - see 4.1.
– Remove the chain catcher - see
4.2.
Use a screwdriver to remove the
two plugs from the annular
buffers.
