3. Inspect the pawls and torsion springs for wear
and damage. See Figure 6.10.
4. Carefully lift the spring and pulley out of the
recoil housing. See Figure 6.11.
CAUTION: The recoil spring is under tension
and can release as the pulley is removed.
CAUTION: Eye protection should be worn while
removing the starter pulley.
NOTE: If the spring is undamaged, but has been
removed from the pulley, the spring may be re-
wound. Engage the hook in the end of the spring
with the slot in the outer lip of the recess that the
spring fits in, and wind the spring into the recess
in a counter-clockwise direction.

NOTE: Evaluate the damage, including parts
prices and local labor rates. In some parts of the
country, it makes economic sense to replace the
complete assembly, in other areas labor rates
favor repair.
5. To re-assemble, apply a small amount of lithium-
based chassis grease to the surface of the recoil
housing that contacts the spring.
6. Carefully position the pulley and spring in the
recoil housing. Rotate the pulley gently counter-
clockwise until the spring seats, allowing the pul-
ley to fall into position.
7. Install the torsion springs and pawls so that the
long arm of the spring reaches outside of the
pawl, and draws it toward the center of the
assembly. See Figure 6.12.
NOTE: The rolled end of the pawl fits in the
recess in the starter pulley. The hooked end
engages the starter cup. Both the roll and the
hook face inward.
NOTE: The extrusions on the pressure plate
should fall inside of the pawls as the starter is
assembled.
NOTE: Drag on the pressure plate, from the fric-
tion between the compression spring and the
head of the shoulder screw causes these extru-
sions to force the pawls outward, engaging the
starter cup.
