3-9. Replacement of Recoil Starter Rope (cont.)
4) Connect Reel with Spiral spring by
turning clockwise while tilting it
as illustrated in Fig. 26.
By rotating Reel clockwise about
half a turn, Reel will move down
to touch Spring case completely,
indicating that it has been correctly
connected with Spiral spring.
Remember the point at which Reel
moved down.
CATION: No force is required to
connect Reel with Spiral spring.
Take care not to deform Spiral
spring by forcing Reel against
Spiral spring.
5) Put Torsion spring and Cam in place, and fasten them securely
with Set screw. (Fig. 27)
Important: Reel is not correctly connected with Spiral spring
if it does not turn smoothly after secure tightening of Set screw.
Reassemble Reel to Spiral spring as described above in 4).
6) Turn Reel counterclockwise to wind up Recoil starter rope.
(Fig. 28)
7) The loose portion can be eliminated from the rope by hooking
the rope on the U-shaped notch in Reel, turning Reel clockwise
two times, then removing the rope from the U-shaped notch.
(Fig. 29)
Remark: There are two points at which Reel hooks on Spiral spring.
Therefore, turn Reel so that it moves down to touch Spring case
at the same position as it did at first in 4).
