Starter pulley and recoil spring
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. De-tension the recoil spring:
2a. Pull the starter rope out part way .
2b. Hold the pulley in place by either clamping it
with a spring clamp or tying a knot in the rope
to prevent it from retracting into the starter as
shown in Figure 6.6.
2c. Push the rope out of the starter handle.
2d. Untie the knot.
2e. Slide the handle off of the rope.
2f. Carefully allow the rope to retract into the
starter.
3. Remove the shoulder screw and pressure plate
using a 10 mm wrench. See Figure 6.7.
Eye protection should be worn if
the starter pulley is to be removed.
