•
Make a loop in the starter rope.
- Push the starter rope into the
notch in the rope rotor.
•
Grip the rope close to the rotor
and use it to turn the rope rotor
seven full turns counterclockwise.
•
Hold the rope rotor steady.
•
Pull out the rope with the starter
grip and straighten it out.
- Hold the starter grip firmly to
keep the rope tensioned.
- Let go of the rope rotor and
slowly release the starter rope
so that it can rewind properly.
Note: The starter grip must sit
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.
•
Check that plug is fitted in fuel
tank.
- Fit starter cover, insert screws
and tighten down to 6.0 Nm
