Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, remove the old starter by unscrewing the mounting bolts located on the engine shroud. Verify that the center-to-center distance between the mounting points on your engine is 77.28 mm. Align the new pullstart, ensuring the recoil starter pawl engages correctly with the engine flywheel, and secure it using the provided bolts. For maintenance, keep the internal recoil spring free of debris and dirt. Occasionally check that the mounting bolts remain tight, as engine vibration can cause them to loosen over extended use. Avoid pulling the cord to its absolute limit to preserve the longevity of the internal return spring.
