REWIND STARTER
Operation
4. This recoil starter is a pressed together assembly.
Due to the low cost of the assembly, we do not
stock individual parts. Should the recoil fail due to
something other than a starter rope, we
recommend replacing the assembly. The
replacement recoil will be connected to the shroud
with nuts and bolts.
The rewind starter operates through a retainer/friction
disc that causes two engagement dogs to extend from
the center of the rewind starter and engage the inside
of the starter hub on the flywheel. The engagement
dogs move into contact with the starter hub when the
rewind rope is pulled. When the engine starts, the
starter cup accelerates. As the speed of the starter cup
exceeds the speed of the recoil starter, the ramps on
the inside of the starter cup will contact the back side of
the starter dogs and push them inward. Also, if the
starter rope is relaxed, the spring will cause the dogs to
retract.
Reassembly
Both the DuraForce and R tek engines use starter
ropes about 7 feet long.
1. To wind the rope and pretension the spring, turn
the pulley counterclockwise — six (6) turns for the
R tek and 5 turns for the DuraForce. Insert the
rope through the guide, then the reel. A pair of
small needle nose pliers will be helpful. (See
Figure 61.)
Removal and Disassembly
Note: The rewind starter assembly housing is attached
to the shroud with rivets.

2.
Remove any necessary shrouding to reveal fuel
tank. Remove the fuel tank.
Remove the two hex head screws (A) that attach
the shroud to the base. Also, there are 2 studs (B)
on the cylinder head that are used to attach the
shroud. Remove the nuts and washers from the
studs. The shroud can then be rotated towards the
cylinder head until there is enough clearance to
slide the shroud off the studs. (See Figure 60.)
