4-7.11A. RETRACTABLE STARTER - MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS.
a. The retractable starter consists of a rope attached to a starter pulley which is, in turn, connected by
spring-loaded dogs, to a starter cup located on the crankshaft assembly. When the starter rope is pulled, the
starter pulley rotates. This rotation increases the spring tension applied to the dogs and the dogs engage the
starter cup.  While the dogs are engaged in the starter cup, the torque applied to the starter pulley is
transmitted directly to the engine flywheel.
b  As soon as the engine starts, the starter rope is allowed to return into the starter housing. The starter
pulley is also spring-loaded and rewinds the starter rope in preparation for the next start. At the same time, the
pulley releases the tension applied to the dogs and allows them to disengage from the starter cup. After the
engine has started, the starter pinion disengages from the ring gear.
