Reduction Gear Removal/Installation

Before removing the reduction gear, remove the magneto
flywheel (see Engine Bottom End chapter).

When installing the reduction gear, apply a molybdenum
disulfide grease [A] to both ends of its shaft.

Reduction Gear Inspection

Rotate the pinion gear [A] counterclockwise. The gear
must be rotated freely [B].

Rotate the pinion gear clockwise all the way. The pinion
gear will be advanced along the reduction gear shaft, and
stopped against the stopper [A].

Release the pinion gear. The pinion gear must return to
the initial position rapidly.
If the pinion gear does not function properly, replace it.
