Stihl BT 45 - Replacing the Starter Rope and Rewind Spring

BT 45
English
23
If engine running behavior is
unsatisfactory even though the air filter
is clean and the carburetor is properly
adjusted, the cause may be the muffler.
Have the muffler checked for
contamination (carbonization) by your
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer.
Replacing the Starter Rope
N Take out the screws (1).
N Remove the fan housing.
N Remove the spring clip (2).
N Carefully remove the rope rotor with
washer (3) and pawl (4).
The rewind spring may pop out and
uncoil during this operation – take care
to avoid the risk of injury.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury,
use only spark plugs authorized by
STIHL. Always press spark plug boot (2)
snugly onto spark plug terminal (1) of
the proper size. (Note: If terminal has
detachable SAE adapter nut, it must be
attached.) A loose connection between
spark plug boot and ignition wire con-
nector in the boot may create arcing that
could ignite combustible fumes and
cause a fire.
