CHECK
AFTER
REASSEMBLY
-
(1)
Pull the starter knob
a
few times to check
if
:
I
A.
The starter knob is too heavy to pull, check that each part has been assembled as specified.
8.
The ratchet fails to function, check that parts such as friction spring have been missing.
(2)
Pull out the starter knob to extend the rope to its extreme to see
if:
A.
The starter rope still remains in the rope slot in the reel, unwind the rope by
1
mm to
2
mm turns
as
the spring may be over-stressed.
B.
The starter rope
is
found weak to recoil or droops in halfway, apply grease
or
mobile oil to the
rotating part and to the friction parts.
If this persists, wind-up the spring by
1
mm to
2
mm
turns.
(In this case, check that the spring is not
over-stressed.)
C.
The spring escapes with a sound and the starter rope fails to spring back to its original position,
reassemble the starter from the beginning.

OTHER
GUIDES
(1)
When the spring escapes from the reel:
Make a ring having
a
rather small diameter
than spring housing using
a
thin wire.
Hook
the outer end
of
the spring onto a part
of
the ring and re-wind the spring into the wire
ring
as
shown in Fig.
9-8
then put
it
into the
housing.
Remove the ring slowly while holding down
the spring to avoid getting out
of
place.
The ring can easily be removed by prying it
with the tip of a screwdriver.
Refer to Fig.
9-5
for which way the spring must
be placed.
If the wire ring is not available, re-wind the
spring directly into the housing.

When it is lubricated:
Lubricate the starter shaft and the spring with
a
grease
(If
possible, heat-resistant type is preferable)
or a mobile
oil
when the starter is being disassembled and prior to long term storage.
