Rato 739cc Recoil Starter Install Instructions

Recommended tools:
Small cordless impact or ratchet and a method to keep the engine from turning.
3/8" impact adapter bit (if using a small cordless impact)
3/8" extension
3/8" 10mm Socket
3/8" 10mm Hex bit
Philips head bit or screwdriver

First, using your impact and Philips head bit or screwdriver, remove the three screws holding the fan cover on and remove it.

 


Using a small impact or ratchet and a 10mm socket, loosen and remove the three center bolts holding the fan on the crankshaft. Leave the fan and washer in place, do not loosen the center bolt.

 

Once removed, align the recoil starter bracket with the three holes and reinstall the bolts using an 10mm socket and extension. If you're tightening with an impact- be very cautious - you do not want to shear or strip these.



Thread the provided bolt onto the provided washer, then fit it through the recoil starter cup hole. 



Then combine the bracket and cup by threading the provided bolt onto the center hole of the bracket. The three dimpled/protruding holes on the cup will need to be aligned with the three holes on the bracket.

Once threaded on, use your impact (conservatively!) and 10mm hex key to tighten the center bolt.



Once the bracket and cup are installed, use the 10mm socket and impact to remove the four acorn nuts that hold the cover on.



Place the recoil starter assembly over the cover studs (sliding the cup into the center) and reinstall the acorn nuts.



You're all done! turn your key to "on", give it some choke and give it a rip!
