f I 70 prevent personal injury, be ex~
WpmmmpwpihmJ tremeiy careful when disassembling
and reassembling the starter recoil mechanism. The
recoil spring can uncoil violently if it is released.
The sheave hub bearing (16) has a recess which was
packed full of grease at the factory. Normally, no
additional lubrication is required. However, if the
starter is disassembled for some other reason, add
grease to the bearing and to the spring pawls (11)
where they contact die ratchet arm (13).
To install a new rope or internal parts, remove the
starter from its mounting ring by removing the four
clamping screws.
To install a new rope, rotate the sheave (10) with
crankshaft rotation direction to fully tighten the
spring (8) back up only as necessary to align the hole
in the sheave with the slot in the cover (5), clamp the
rope to the sheave; then, when released, the rope will
wind on the sheave.
To install a new recoil spring, remove the sheave from
the cover. Wind the spring, with its rivet heads
outward, forming a coil small enough to be inserted in
the recess of the starter cover. It may be necessary to
tie the spring with a piece of wire to prevent its
unwinding during installation unless other help is
available. Race the spring in the cover recess in
crankshaft rotation direction. Remove the tying wire,
if used. While holding the spring to prevent its
unwinding, install the inside end of the spring on the
roll pin (7) in the cover. With the pull rope removed,
install the sheave assembly in the cover so that the tab
on the sheave enters the outside end loop of the recoil
spring. Be sure the thrust washer (9) is in place. Then
install the pull rope.
Spring breakage is much less common than spring
fatigue due to long usage. In either case, the spring
should be replaced. Cleaning and lubricating the
pawls, and ratchet arms in the rope sheave will
improve a sluggish acting recoil. To temporarily
.extend the life of a fatigued spring, try rewinding it
inside out (rivet heads inward).
To install a ratchet arm (13) in the sheave, the pawl
(11) must first be removed. The ratchet arm will fit in
only the correct position. The spring pawl must be
installed with its fiat edge against the ratchet arm. The
anti-back lash cogwheel (6) is an easy press fit on the
starter cover.
