Tensioning the Rewind Spring
: Make a loop in the unwound
starter rope and use it to turn
the rope rotor six full revolutions
counterclockwise. Hold the rotor
steady – straighten the twisted rope
– release the rotor –
let go of rope slowly so that it winds
onto the rotor.
:
Check spring tension:
– The starter grip must be firmly
seated in the rope guide bush.
If the grip droops to one side: Add
one more turn on rope rotor to
increase spring tension.
– When the starter rope is fully
extended it must be possible to
rotate the rotor another half turn. If
this is not the case, the spring is
overtensioned and could break.
Take one turn of rope off the rotor.

Go to "Fitting the Starter Cover".
