10.2 Checking the Recoil Starter After Reassembly
Note: Carry out the following procedures to ensure proper operation of
the starter assembly.
10.2.1 Pull the starter rope 2–3 times.
• If the starter knob is too heavy to pull, check that each part has been
assembled as specified.
• If the ratchet does not work, check for missing parts such as the fric-
tion spring.
10.2.2 Pull out the starter knob as far as it will go.
• If the starter rope remains in the rope slot in the reel, the spring may
be over-stressed. To fix this, pull out the starter rope approximately 30
cm (11-3/4"), and controlling the rotation of the reel with your thumb,
allow the starter rope to rewind about one or two turns.
• If the starter rope rewinds slowly or only partially, apply grease or oil
to the rotary parts or the friction surfaces. If this does not help, try
winding up the spring one or two turns, taking care to not over-stress
the spring.
• If there is a sound indicating that the spring is off the hook and the
starter rope cannot be wound back, reassemble the recoil starter from
the beginning.
