Starter Assembly
Remove the mounting screws
Replacing a broken starter rope
First remove the three screws which retain the fan housing.
Next lift the base
of
the fan shroud away from the crank-
case and slide downward and away from the engine.
Using a screwdriver, or a suitable pair of pliers, carefully
remove the spring clip from the starter post groove.
The
rope rotor, together with the pawl can now be liftet off.
Remove any remaining rope from the rope groove
in
the
rotor. Thread
in
a new starter rope, 4,5 mm
(0.18
in) dia-
meter and 1000 mm (40 in) long and secure it to the rope
rotor with a simple overhand knot. Seal the ends of the rope
to
prevent ravelling with a match or lighter flame. Thread
the other end of the rope through the rope guide hole
in
the
fan housing from inside, pass
it
through the starter grip
in
an
upward direction and secure it with a figure 8 or looped
overhand knot (see diagram of knots).
Do
not rewind the
rope on the rotor at this time. Clean and lubricate the rope
rotor's bushing with a non-resinous oil, slide the rotor on
the starter axle or post and align the rewind spring anchor
loop (exposed through the center opening in the rewind
spring housing) with the notched section of the rib on the
