4-7.1.
STARTER ASSEMBLY - MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS.
a.
The starter consists of a rope attached to a starter pulley, which is in turn connected by spring-
loaded pawls to a clutch "dog" bracket, located on the engine flywheel. When the starter rope is pulled, the
starter pulley rotates. This rotation increases the spring tension applied to the pawls. The pawls then pull
forward to engage the clutch "dogs" on the clutch dog bracket. While the pawls are engaged to the "dogs", 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 re-winds the starter rope in preparation for the next start. At the same
time, the pulley releases the tension applied to the pawls, and allows them to disengage from the clutch "dogs".
Thus the starter engages automatically when the starter cord is pulled, and disengages automatically as soon
as the starter cord is released. As soon as the cord is re-wound on the starter pulley, the starter is ready for
the next start. Never allow the starter rope to snap back. Keep the handle in your hand until the rope is fully
re-wound.
