9.4-STARTER ROPE REPLACEMENT (Flash Starter)
Remove the starter from the engine unscrewing the 4 screws (Photo
9). Remove the handle rope. Be careful since the central wheel will
turn till the spring is completely discharged: keep it and discharge it
slowly to avoid damages or possible injuries. Remove the central screw
and its cover (photo 10).
!
ATTENTION! Under the cover there are two teeth for the starter
jaw (check their condition and if worn replace them); under them 2
small calipers. Be very careful not to lose these small parts.
Prepare the new rope and tie a knot at the top. Remove the plastic
07
wheel and the old rope. Thread the new rope in its hole (photo 11),
wind the rope on the wheel (according to the entrance sense of the
rope on the wheel) (Photo 12). Now insert the plastic wheel in its
housing again and check through the hole that the internal spring
hook is perfectly coupled (Photo 13), place the springs, the teeth for
the starter jaw and screw the cover again using medium thread-locker.
All the parts in movement, including the springs, must be well
lubricated.

Now go on by charging the return spring: take the head of the rope
leaving 10-20 cm coming out the hole with "u" shape on the wheel
side. Turn the wheel three times in counter clock-wise sense till it stops
in front of the exit hole on the aluminium case. Keeping the plastic
wheel stopped, pass the rope through the case hole. Insert the handle
and the washer and tie a single knot as shown in photo 14.
