NOTE: If starter rope tension needs to be
adjusted, there is room between the recoil hous-
ing and the pulley to wind-on more tension.
See Figure 6.8.
10. Install the starter and tighten the starter nuts to a
torque of 80-106 in-lbs (9-12 Nm).
Starter pulley and recoil spring
The recoil spring is nested within the starter pulley and
both parts are assembled as a single part number.
CAUTION: Eye protection should be worn if the
starter pulley is to be removed.
If damage is suspected, the recoil may be disassem-
bled by:
1. Remove the starter by following the steps
described earlier in this chapter.
2. Remove the shoulder screw and pressure plate
using a 10 mm wrench. See Figure 6.9.
NOTE: Beneath the pressure plate is a com-
pression spring, and two starter pawls that are
held in the disengaged position by two torsion
springs.
