4.3 Inspecting the Starter
See Graphic: wc_gr002881
Starter Return Spring
Replace the starter return spring if it is broken, or appears distorted or
twisted. Check that the starter return spring ends are bent 180° (a). The
starter return spring may be difficult to seat in the slots on the starter
housing and the rope reel pulley, if the return spring ends are stretched
out (b) or damaged.
Rope Reel Pulley
Inspect the rope reel pulley for wear in the area where the starter return
spring makes contact. Remove any dirt and grease from between the
spring windings. Slip the rope reel pulley over the center post in the
housing and check its movement. The rope reel pulley should rotate
freely on the post with a minimum amount of side play.
Ratchet
Check the ratchet tooth for wear. The tip
(c) should be pointed, not
rounded. A worn ratchet may slip when engaging the flywheel.
Replace the ratchet when it is worn.
Rope
Check the rope length. It is 150 cm (60 in.) when new. If the rope is too
short, it may bottom out when pulled and damage the starter.
