Replacing the starter cord
Dismantle the starter.
Eliminate the spring force from
the return spring
1. Pull out the starter cord approximately
12 in./30 cm. Hold the starter pulley
with your thumb and place the cord in
the cut-out on the starter pulley.
2. Let the starter pulley rotate slowly and
wind up the cord on the metal sleeve.
3. Lift off the cord from the starter
pulley.
Attach the new starter cord
The starter cord should be 45 in./
115 cm long and have a diameter of
.16 in./4 mm.
1. Insert one end of the cord from the
top through the hole in the starter pulley
and then out through the notch for the
cord. Pull out virtually the whole cord
length until sufficient cord remains to tie
a knot as illustrated.
2. Insert the other end through the cover
and on through the handle. Tie a double
knot as illustrated.
Loading the return spring
1. Fit the starter cord in the cut-out.
2. Wind the starter cord 4 turns around
the hub.
3. Pull out the starter handle so the cord
rolls off the hub.
4. Release so the cord is wound on the
starter pulley.
Repeat the procedure with 3 turns of
cord around the hub.
Important check!
Check that the return spring does not act
as an end stop by extending the cord
fully. In this position it should be possible
to turn the starter pulley a least a further
half turn before the spring stops the
movement.
