Recoil Mechanism Disassembly (cont'd)
CAUTION:
remove the friction
plate and reel components
carefully as jerking them out
may cause the recoil spring to
come out of the recoil housing.
4.
Remove the return spring.
See
Figure 67.

Gently
lift
out the recoil reel with a needle nose
pliers.
A
CAUTION:
If the reel is jerked
from the recoil starter case, the
spring may fly
out
of
position.
6. Untie the knot in the recoil rope and remove the
rope from the recoil reel.
7.
If
it
is necessary to remove the recoil spring, do
so
by carefully turning the recoil housing over (spring
sure to stay clear of the spring when performing
this operation.
IMPORTANT
Do not remove
the
recoil spring
unless
it
is
absolutely necessary. Once
unsprung, the spring should be replaced.

CAUTION:
Do
not remove
the
wire surrounding the spring
until the spring is installed in
the recoil housing. Removing
the
wire prematurely may result
in
personal injury.

Insert one end of the recoil rope into the
appropriate hole in the recoil reel.
Tie
a single
loop
knot in that end of the rope and
pull
it
down into
the hole making sure that no portion
of
the rope
protrudes
out
of
the recess.

Recoil Mechanism Reassembly
1.
If
the recoil spring was removed during
disassembly, replace
it
with a
new
one. Position
the spring with the wire on
it
into the recoil housing
as
shown in Figure
68.
Figure 69
3.
Position the spring in the starter case
so
that the
spring's inner end is approximately
3
mm
(1/8
inch)
from the shaft. This distance ensures that the reel
hook will engage the spring.

Figure
70.
