N Refit the pawl (5) in the rotor.
N Fit the washer (4) on the starter
post.
N Use a screwdriver or suitable pliers
to fit the spring clip (3) on the starter
post and over the pawl's peg – the
spring clip must point
counterclockwise – as shown in the
illustration.
N Go to "Tensioning the Rewind
Spring".
Replacing a broken rewind spring
N Remove the rope rotor as described
in chapter on "Replacing the starter
rope".
N Remove the spring housing and
pieces of spring.
N Lubricate the new spring with a few
drops of non-resinous oil.
N Position the new spring housing,
bottom plate facing up, against the
cutouts (arrows).
N Push the spring housing into the
starter cover.
N Reinstall the rope rotor – then go to
"Tensioning the Rewind Spring".
N If the spring pops out of the spring
housing and uncoils: Refit it
counterclockwise, starting outside
and working inwards.
Tensioning the rewind spring
N Make a loop in the unwound starter
rope and use it to turn the rope rotor
six full revolutions in the direction of
the arrow.
N Hold the rotor steady. Pull out and
straighten the twisted rope.
N Let go of the rotor.
N Release the rope slowly so that it
winds onto the rotor. The starter grip
must locate firmly in the rope
bushing. If the grip droops to one
side: Add one more turn on the rope
rotor to increase spring tension.
N When the starter rope is fully
extended it must still be possible to
rotate the rotor another half turn. If
this is not the case, the spring is
overtensioned and could break.
Take one turn of the rope off the
rotor.
The bits of spring may still be
under tension and could fly apart
when you take them out of the
housing. To reduce the risk of
injury, wear face protection and
work gloves.
