Engine WBE 170
Workshop Manual
General information
The starter assembly inside the cover consists of a rope wound around a pulley. The movement from the
pulley to the ywheel (and therefore to the engine shaft) is transmitted through a pair of couplings. The
return of the pulley and the rewinding of the rope are obtained from a spiral spring.
See the relevant section [
17] for advice on resolving problems due to the malfunctioning of the star-
ting system.
6. STARTING SYSTEM ( manual starter)
6.1. Removing the starter assembly
1 - To get access to the starter assembly (1), the
cover (2) must be removed by unscrewing the
three nuts (3).
2 - Ret the starter assembly (1) by tightening the
cover nuts (3) to the torque indicated.
6.2. Replacing the rope
1 - Remove the starter assembly [
6.1].
2- Keep hold of the pulley (4) and, with the help of
a screwdriver, slowly unwind (clockwise) the entire
rope (5) from the pulley. Then carefully release the
pulley in order to gradually unload the return spring.
If the rope breaks, the spring will be already rele-
ased and you will only have to unwind the rope.
3 - Undo or cut the knot at the end of the rope (5)
and remove the section still attached to the pulley.
