- Coat the bore in the rope rotor
with STIHL special lubricant -
see 11.2. Fit the rotor on the
starter post so that the inner
spring loop slides into the lug
on the rotor.
Note: Check that the spring loop
has engaged by turning the rope
rotor slightly counterclockwise and
letting it go - it must spin back.
- Fit the washer and install
the spring clip in the starter
post groove.
Note: Make sure the spring clip
engages the pawl guide peg and
points it in the counterclockwise
direction.
- The spring clip must be
treated very carefully. If it is
bent or twisted during
disassembly or assembly,
the rewind starter might
malfunction.
- Tension the rewind spring -
see 7.5.
- Remove rope rotor, see 7.2.
- Remove remaining rope from
rope rotor and pull off the
starter grip.
- Thread new starter rope
through starter grip from below
and fasten with special knots.
- Thread the other end of the
rope from the outside through
the rope guide bush in the
starter cover.
- Thread end of rope into hole
on side of rope rotor, insert
in inner hole from below, pull
through to top, and fasten
using a simple knot.
