Replacing the starter cable/ Replacing the
return spring pack/Replacing the starter
spring
Unscrew three screws (1).
Remove fan housing (2).
Remove the air guide (3) from the fan housing.
CAREFUL! Injury hazard! Do not unscrew screw (7) if
the return spring is under tension.
If the starter cable is to be replaced although it is not broken,
it will be necessary to first de-tension the cable drum return
spring (13).
To do this, use the grip to pull the cable all the way out of the
fan housing.
Hold the cable drum with one hand, and with the other push
the cable into the space (14).
Carefully let the drum turn until the return spring is no longer
under tension.
Unscrew screw (7) and remove the driver (8) and spring
(6).
Carefully remove the cable drum.
Remove any cable pieces.
Thread a new cable (dia. 0.12" (3.0 mm), length 35.4"
(900 mm)) as shown in the illustration (don't forget the washer
(10)) and knot both ends as shown.
Pull knot (11) into the cable drum (5).
Pull knot (12) into the starter grip (9).
Put the drum on its spindle and turn it slightly until the return
spring engages.
Place the spring (6) in the driver (8) and place them together
in the cable drum (5) while turning slightly counter-clock-
wise. Insert screw (7) and tighten.
Guide the cable into the slot (14) on the cable drum and turn
the drum with the cable clockwise three times.
Hold the cable drum with your left hand and with your right
hand untwist the cable, pull it tight and hold it.
Carefully release the cable drum. The spring will wind the
cable around the drum.
Repeat the procedure once. The starter grip should now
stand straight up on the fan housing.
NOTE: With the cable pulled all the way out, it must still be
possible to turn the pulley another 1/4 turn against the return
spring.
CAUTION: Danger of injury! Secure the cable grip when
pulled out! It will whip back if the cable pulley is released
by accident.
Replacing the return spring pack
Disassemble the fan housing and cable drum (see above).
CAREFUL! Injury hazard! The return spring can pop out!
Always wear eye protection and protective gloves!
Lightly tap the fan housing on a wooden surface with the
entire surface of the hollow side, and hold it down. Now lift
the fan housing carefully and in small steps. This will allow
the return spring pack (13), which should now have fallen out,
to relax in a controlled manner if the return spring has popped
out of the plastic pack.
Carefully insert a new return spring cassette and press
down until it engages.
Place the cable drum on it and turn it slightly until the return
spring engages.
Install the spring (6) and driver (8) and screw on tight with
screw (7).
Tension the spring (see above).
Replacing the starter spring
NOTE: If the spring (6) in the Featherlight-Starting system
is broken, more effort will be required to start the engine
and you will notice some resistance when pulling the starter
40
cable. If you notice this, check the spring (6) and replace if
necessary.

Mounting the fan housing

Insert the air guide (3) in the fan housing so that the three
recesses (4) engage.
Position the fan housing against the housing, press against it
lightly and pull the starter grip until the starter engages.
