MAINTENANCE
Starter
Changing a broken or worn starter cord
• Loosen the screws that hold the starter against the
crankcase and remove the starter.
• Pull out the cord approx. 30 cm and hook it into the notch
in the rim of the pulley. Release the recoil spring by letting
the pulley rotate slowly backwards.
• Undo the screw in the centre of the pulley and remove the
pulley. Insert and fasten a new starter cord to the pulley.
Wind approx. 3 turns of the starter cord onto the pulley.
Connect the pulley to the recoil spring so that the end of
the spring engages in the pulley. Fit the screw in the centre
of the pulley. Insert the starter cord through the hole in the
starter housing and the starter handle. Make a secure
knot in the end of the starter cord.
Tensioning the recoil spring
• Hook the starter cord in the notch in the pulley and turn the
starter pulley about 2 turns clockwise.
Note! Check that the pulley can be turned at least a further
1/2 turn when the starter cord is pulled all the way out.
Changing a broken recoil spring
• Lift up the starter pulley. See instructions under the
heading Changing a broken or worn starter cord.
Remember that the recoil spring is coiled under tension in
the starter housing.
• Remove the cassette with the recoil spring from the
starter.
• Lubricate the recoil spring with light oil. Fit the cassette
with recoil spring in the starter. Fit the starter pulley and
tension the recoil spring.
Fitting the starter
• To fit the starter, first pull out the starter cord and place the
starter in position against the crankcase. Then slowly
release the starter cord so that the pulley engages with
the pawls.
• Fit and tighten the screws that hold the starter.
!
WARNING! When the recoil spring is wound
up in the starter housing it is under tension
and can, if handled carelessly, pop out and
cause personal injury.
Care must be exercised when replacing the
return spring or the starter cord. Wear
protective glasses and protective gloves.
