The only tough bit of the job is ensuring that the spring tension is appropriate for the number of turns of the starter rope. ie [starter rope all out]=[lots of tension on spring] or [starter rope all wound up]=[little tension on spring]. If you get this combo wrong and assemble it with the spring tight and the starter cord all wound up you'll break something when you next give the cord a good yank. Ideally the cord should reach the limit of its travel before the spring reaches its maximum degree of coil. A trust I'm involved with has a ride-on that gets all too frequent maintenance. On occasion the bills can exceed $2,000 in a single year. If you mow uneven ground I wouldn't want the brake maintenance to be overlooked! |
