To assembly the starter pulley assembly:
1. Install a new starter rope in the recoil pulley
assembly.
1a. Remove the old rope from the pulley.
1b. Cut a piece of #3 1/2 (7/64”) starter rope 43”
(109 cm) long.
1c. Insert the new piece of rope through the hole
in the starter pulley.
1d. Tie a half hitch knot at the end of the rope.
1e. Press the knot into the grove in the starter pul-
ley.
2. Lightly lubricate the post that the recoil pulley
assembly fits over with a good quality lithium base
grease.
3. Install the pulley assembly into the starter housing
assembly. See Figure 6.9.
4. Install a new retaining ring.
5. Pass the free end of the starter rope through the
eyelet in the starter housing.

ting pulled back through the eyelet.

tension to consistently draw the recoil handle up
against the eyelet.
