7.5 Tensioning the
Rewind Spring
- Grip the rope between the rope
rotor and fan housing, pull it out
and make a loop.
- Grip the rope close to the rotor
and use it to turn the rope rotor
six full turns in counterclockwise
direction.
- Hold the rope rotor steady.
- Pull out the rope with the starter
grip and straighten it out.
- Hold the starter grip firmly
to keep the rope tensioned.
- Let go of the rope rotor and
slowly release the starter grip.
Note: The rewind spring is
correctly tensioned when the
starter grip sits firmly in the rope
guide bush without drooping to
one side. If this is not the case,
tension the spring by one
additional turn.
When the starter rope is fully
extended, it must still be possible
to rotate at least another half turn
before maximum spring tension is
reached. If this is not the case, pull
the rope out, hold the rope rotor
steady and take off one turn of the
rope.
Do not overtension the rewind
spring as this will cause it to
break.
- Refit the starter cover.
- Remove the starter cover.
- Remove the spring clip, see 7.2.
Note: Do not pull the rope rotor off
the starter post.
- Pull the pawl out of the rope rotor.
- Coat peg of new pawl with
graphite grease, see 11.2, and
fit it in position.
- Check that washer is fitted
on starter post.
- 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 anticlockwise
direction.
The spring clip must be treated
very carefully. If it is bent or
twisted during disassembly or
assembly, the rewind starter might
malfunction.
- Refit the starter cover.
