Replacing a broken or worn starter cord
• Loosen the bolts that hold
the starter against the
crankcase and lift off the
starter unit.
• Remove any remaining rope
from the pulley and check
that the return spring
recoils. Insert the new
starter rope through the
pulley.
• Anchor the rope around the
hub on the pulley as shown
on the illustration. Pull the
rope tight and make sure
that the free end is as short
as possible.

Tensioning the recoil spring
• Lift up the starter cord from
the cut out on the pulley and
turn the pulley approx.
7 turns clockwise.
NOTE! Ensure the starter
pulley can be turned at least
a further 1/2 turn when the
starter cord is fully
extended.
Replacing a broken recoil spring
• Lift the starter pulley (see
"Changing a broken or worn
starter cord"

• Loosen the screws holding
the spring cassette.
• Disassemble the recoil
spring by tapping the pully

bench or similar. If the
spring pops out when
assembling, it should be
mounted again, out and in
towards the centre.

with thin oil. Assemble the
starter pulley, and tension
the recoil spring.
