The recoil spring is nested within the starter pulley and
both parts are assembled as a single part number.
If damage is suspected, the recoil may be disassem-
bled by:
1. Remove the starter by following the steps described
earlier in this chapter.
2. Remove the shoulder screw and pressure plate using
a 10 mm wrench. See Figure 6.9.
NOTE: Beneath the pressure plate is a compression
spring, and two starter pawls that are held in the
disengaged position by two torsion springs.
3. Inspect the pawls and torsion springs for wear and
damage. See Figure 6.10.
4. Carefully lift the spring and pulley out of the recoil
housing. See Figure 6.11.
