Starters
45
NOTE: The recoil pulley assembly consists of three parts,
but it is serviced as one assembly. The three parts
are: the inner pulley, the starter assist (accumula-
tor) spring, and the outer pulley. See Figure 6.5.
NOTE: When the recoil rope is pulled, it rotates the outer
pulley, winding-up the starter assist spring. When
the spring accumulates enough force to over-come
the compression of the engine, it releases its
energy, spinning the inner pulley and the flywheel
rapidly. This allows the operator to pull the recoil
rope slowly, yet still generate enough cranking
speed to start the engine.
NOTE: In the starter housing, there is an enclosed recoil
spring. If the Starter rope failed to retract, carefully
remove the enclosed recoil spring for inspection.
Otherwise leave the enclosed spring in place.
See Figure 6.6.
