Wind the recoil rope onto the reel in a
counterclockwise direction (as viewed from the
side of the reel without the knot in
it).
Hook the end
of the rope in the slot provided in one of the reel
flanges. Leave about 15 cm ( 6 inches) of rope. See
Figure 71.

Position the recoil spring so
that
the end of the
spring is about 3mm (1/8 inch) from the center post
to ensure proper engagement with the reel.
6.
Line up the end of the recoil spring with the slot in
the reel and install the reel.
It
may help to rock the
reel back and forth slightly in order to get the parts

Place the friction plate, friction plate spring and
pawl onto the recoil reel as an assembly. Make su
that the end of the pawl return spring is properly
positioned on the outside of the pawl then install
the bind screw. Tighten to 0.8 to
1.O
kg m (70 to 80
in Ibs).
Prewind the spring approximately one and one hal
turns in a counterclockwise direction then slip the
end of the rope through the hole in the recoil
housing.
Pull about 30 cm (12 inches) of rope
out of the
recoil and tie a tight slip knot in
it.
This will keep the
recoil rope from retracting into the housing during
installation of the
'7"
handle.
Slide the
"T"
handle then the metal reinforcement
onto the recoil rope. Secure by tying a knot in the
end of the rope then inserting
it
into the slot in the
top of the "T" handle.
Release the slip knot be giving if a sharp tug.

1. Position the recoil starter gasket on the crankcase

screws evenly so as not to damage the recoil
housing.
NOTE: The recoil housing is self-centering and
requires no special centering procedure.
