Engine Repair Cont.
Recoil Starter cont.
It is necessary to increase the spring tension in the starter prior to use.
Rotate the spool counterclockwise several times with the rope hooked
into notch (A).
Hold the spool to prevent it from rewinding and pull the starter grip out
to take up the rope slack. Let the starter rewind slowly.
Pull starter several times to check the spring rewind tension. If the
starter is not rewinding fully, repeat the process described above.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The electrical system includes the flywheel (1), the coil (2), high
tension lead assembly (3) and the spark plug (4).
To remove the flywheel, it is first necessary to effectively stop the
piston from moving within the cylinder. This is easiest
accomplished by rotating the crankshaft until the piston is on a
downward stroke, then inserting several inches of starter rope into
the spark plug hole. Upon rising in the cylinder, the piston will
contact the rope, and will not be allowed to complete its cycle or
crankshaft rotation. This will allow the flywheel-mounting nut to be
removed. The flywheel nut is right hand threaded. Removal is in
the counter clock-wise direction.
