Assembly Procedure
1. Insert the rope through the starter pulley.
2. Assemble the gear, pulley, washer, and snap ring.
3. Place a small amount of grease on the center shaft,
place the gear and pulley into position making sure
the brake spring loop is positioned over the metal
tab on the bracket. The rope clip must fit tightly
onto the bracket. The raised section fits into the
hole in the bracket.
4. Install the hub and hub screw. Torque the hub screw
to 45 - 55 in. lbs. (5 - 6 Nm). A loose hub screw
will prevent the rope from retracting.
5. Install the return spring if necessary. A replacement
spring is installed by placing the spring and its
retainer over the top of the pulley and pushing the
spring out of the retainer into the pulley's recessed
area.
6. Install the spring cover and the cover screws.
7. Wind the rope onto the pulley by slipping it past
the rope clip. When the rope is fully wound on the
pulley, wind the pulley assembly two additional
turns to put tension on the spring.
8. Mount the starter on the engine making sure the
top of the starter gear teeth are no closer than
1/16" (1.59 mm) from the top of the flywheel ring
gear teeth.
