The rewind spring is correctly
tensioned when the starter grip sits
firmly in the rope guide bushing
(arrow) without drooping to one
side.
If this is not the case, tension
the spring by one additional turn.
When the starter rope is fully
extended, it must still be possible to
rotate the rope rotor another full turn
before maximum spring tension is
reached. If this is not the case,
reduce spring tension since there is
otherwise a risk of breakage.
To reduce spring tension:
Pull the rope out, hold the rope rotor
steady and take off one turn of the
rope.
