Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure the engine is completely cool. Start by removing the existing, damaged recoil starter housing by unscrewing the mounting bolts. Measure the distance between your engine's current mounting holes to verify they match the 80 mm requirement.
Place the PetrolScooter unit onto the engine shroud, aligning the 6.25 mm holes with the mounting posts. Tighten the bolts in an alternating pattern to ensure even pressure distribution.
To maintain the longevity of your pull starter, avoid 'letting go' of the handle after pulling. Always guide the cord back into the housing to prevent sudden impact damage to the recoil spring. Periodically check that the mounting bolts remain tight, as engine vibration can loosen fasteners over time.
