P25 Series of Engines

NOTE: The recoil pulley assembly consists of three

parts, but it is serviced as one assembly. The

three parts are: the inner pulley, the starter

assist (accumulator) spring, and the outer

pulley. See Figure 6.6.

NOTE: When the recoil rope is pulled, it rotates the

outer pulley, winding-up the starter assist

spring. When the spring accumulates

enough force to over-come the compression

of the engine, it releases its energy, spinning

the inner pulley and the flywheel rapidly. This

allows the operator to pull the recoil rope

slowly, yet still generate enough cranking

speed to start the engine.

NOTE: In the starter housing, there is an enclosed

recoil spring. If the Starter rope failed to

retract, carefully remove the enclosed recoil

spring for inspection. Otherwise leave the

enclosed spring in place. See Figure 6.7.
