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.
