1. Remove starter assembly from unit.
2. Loosen bolt (A) and remove washer, pawl (B),
spacer (C) and torsion spring (D). Replace dam-
aged or worn parts.
NOTE:
When it is hard to loosen bolt, install clean
rope (E) in spark plug hole (F) to stop crankshaft
rotation and remove bolt easily.
3. Install torsion spring, spacer, pawl, washer and
bolt. To avoid pinching of torsion spring, install
these parts without setting the end (G) of torsion
spring on starter pawl. The bolt is pre-coated with
sealant on the thread. If the sealant is peeled off,
apply thread locking sealant (Loctite #242, Three-
Bond #1324 or equivalent).
4. Using fine wire (H) or appropriate tool, place the
end (G) of torsion spring on pawl (B), by hooking
and passing under pawl as shown. Remove fine
wire or tool.
5. Make sure pawl can move smoothly. If it does
not move smoothly, check parts for correct installa-
tion.
