Installation tips and care

Before ordering, verify pulley height and the 6-hole mounting pattern. During installation, align the holes with the triangle pattern and secure with the included nuts. Check the rope length and routing, and test the starter with a gentle initial pull to confirm smooth operation. Routine inspection of the housing and pawl can help maintain reliable starts over time.

Important note

Not compatible with 57 mm pulleys. Confirm your model’s pulley size and mounting spacing to ensure a proper fit.
