PLANT RUNNING HOURS
COMPARED TO AUTOMOBILE RUNNING MILES
The engine of your generating plant makes as many revolutions in one hour, as the
average automobile engine does when the car travels a distance of 41 miles.
100 running hours time on a generating plant engine is equivalent in total RPM's
to approximately 4100 running miles on an automobile.
However, do not conclude that the wear on the generating plant engine and the wear
on the automobile engine would be the same. The generating plant engine is built
much more rUggedly, (having larger main bearings, bigger oil capacity and has a
heavier crankshaft proportionately per horsepower) than most automobile engines.
Given the proper care and periodic servicing the generating plant engine will
continue to give many more hours of efficient service than an automobile engine
will after having been run the equivalent number of running miles.
Compare the running time of your generating plant engine with the number of miles
traveled by an automobile. The oil irt an auto is checked every one or two hundred
miles (3 to 5 hrs. running time) and changed every 1000 to 1500 miles (28 to 42 hrs.)
whereas in a generating plant or stationary power engine, the oil should be checked
every 6 to 8 running hours (250 to 350 miles) and changed every 50 to 100 operating
hours (2000 to 4000 miles) depending on operating conditions.
About every 5, 000 to 10, 000 miles (120 to 250 hours), services have to be performed
on an auto, such as checking ignition points, replacing spark plugs, condensers, etc.
Similarly on your generating plant engine, these same services have to be performed
periodically except the change period is reckoned in hours. 10,000 miles on an auto
is equivalent to about 250 running hours on your plant engine.
To arrive at an approximate figure of comparative generating plant running hours as
against automobile engine running miles, multiply the total number of running hours
by 41 to find the equivalent of running miles on an automobile.
Your generating plant engine can "take i t " and will give many hours of efficient
performance provided it is serviced regularly.
Below is a chart showing the comparison between a generating plant engine running
hours and an automobile running miles.

DESCRIPTION
ORIENTATION
NOTE
The plant model and specification, serial numbers, and electrical
characteristics appear on the nameplate. The manufacturer produces
many types of generating plants, and the MODEL & SPEC. NO. dri the
nameplate should always be mentioned in any reference to the plant if
contacting a dealer or the factory.
Some details of these instructions may not apply to special models hav-
ing modifications specified by the purchaser. Due to the wide variety
of uses for which these plants are suitable, these instructions must be
of a general nature. The use of auxiliary or special equipment, special
ff,
installation requirements, or unusual operating conditions may require
the operator of this generating plant to modify these instructions. How-
ever, by using the instructions and recommendations given in this man-
ual as a general guide, it will be possible to make a good installation,
and to properly operate and maintain the plant.
The engine end is designated as the "Front End" of the plant and the car-
buretor side is designated as the "Right Side" of the plant.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Each generating plant is given an actual running test at the factory and
is carefully checked under various electrical load conditions before
shipment, to assure that it is free of any defect and that it meets all per-
formance requirements. Inspect the plant carefully for any damage
which may have occurred in shipment. Any part so damaged must be
repaired or replaced before putting the plant into operation.
DESCRIPTION
ALTERNATING CURRENT PLANTS. - the alternating current (ac)
plant generates current similar
to that supplied by most commercial power lines. This type plant must
be operated whenever electric power is desired.
Standard models use gasoline fuel. Certain special models are equipped
for burning gas fuel.
ENGINE DETAILS
The engine speed is controlled by a flyball type governor built into the
camshaft gear. The governor is adjusted at the factory. Ignition cur-
rent is supplied by a high tension, flywheel type magneto on manual-type
DESCRIPTION
plants and by the starting battery on remote type plants. The engine is
cooled by air forced around the cylinder walls and head. Plants which
are "pressure cooled" have blower fins on the flywheel which draw air in
through the opening at the front of the blower housing. Remote-type
special models may be Vacu-Flo (suction) cooled, and have blower fins
which expel heated air out through the duct at the top of the blower hous-
ing, as desirable for small enclosure installations.
The engine has an aluminum alloy three ring piston, aluminum alloy con-
necting rod, and full floating type piston pin. The counterbalanced crank-
shaft turns in two unusually large sleeve type main bearings.
The cylinder head and oil base are removable for servicing the engine.
CONTROLS
AC MANUAL TYPE PLANTS. - These plants are started by manually
cranking with a pull rope. The carburetor
is manually choked. Electrical load is connected to the plant by con-
necting to the receptacles in the junction box mounted on the plant. The
plant is stopped by pushing a stop button on the ignition breaker box.
This type plant can not be connected to batteries for electric starting.
AC REMOTE CONTROL PLANT. - The remote control type plant is de-
signed for electrical starting, either
at the plant or by means of remote control stop-start switches. Auto-
matic or line failure transfer equipment may be connected to the plant.

Provide separate air inlet and outlet openings large enough to provide for
proper circulation of cooling air. The openings may be adjustable if de-
sired, so as to partially control the temperature of the enclosure. In
ordinary temperatures the inlet and outlet air openings should be at least
3 square feet in area. The outlet should be nearer the ceiling.

EXHAUST. - Pipe the exhaust gases outside the enclosure, using 1 inch
pipe or larger. Increase the exhaust line size, by one pipe
size, after each additional 10 foot length. Avoid sharp bends if possible
by using bent pipe or sweeping elbow where necessary. Connect the
flexible exhaust tube to the plant exhaust outlet, a sufficient length of
pipe to conduct the gases outside the enclosure, and the muffler tb the
pipe outside the enclosure. Protect combustible walls, partitions, etc.
through which exhaust pipes pass with a metal thimble having the dimen-
sions shown in the illustration below. Insulate pipes where the danger of
personal contact exists. If the exhaust line must be inclined upward from
the plant, install a condensate trap at the point where the upward pitch
begins. Periodically drain the trap.
If the plant has no fuel pump, install the tank on a substantial support so
that the bottom of the tank w i l l be one inch above the carburetor fuel i n -
let.
On gravity feed installations, fuel leakage when idle, or flooding con-
dition during operation, w i l l result if the fuel tank is elevated too high.
If the plant is in a vehicle and subject to transportation jars, it is advis-
able to close the shut-off valve when not in operation.
Be sure to open the air vent at the top of the tank. The shut-off valve
should be turned all the way outward until it backseats.
If the plant has a fuel pump, install the fuel tank so that the bottom of the
tank will b e less than 4 feet below the fuel pump. The top of the tank
must not be above the fuel pump. As with an underground fuel tank, if
the fuel lift is more than 4 feet, install an auxiliary electric fuel pump.
Note that only one end of the flexible fuel line has a fitting, and this end
of the line should be assembled to the fuel filter at the plant inlet.
Thread about 15 inches of line through the rain cap (lubricate the line
with soap). Assemble the rain cap to the fuel tank. Press the metal tank
cap over the top of the rain cap to keep water from entering the vent hole.

on the bolts and studs.
(5) Secure a foot cushion to each handle with a lockwasher and nut. In-
stall the handle grips (if shipped loose)using soap suds to aid installation.
OIL DRAIN EXTENSION. - An oil drain extension pipe and coupling will
provide cleanliness and convenience in drain-
ing oil from the oil base. Before filling the oil base with oil as directed
in the following section, remove the drain plug from the oil base and in-
stall a 3/8" pipe nipple and coupling in its place. Install the drain plug
in the coupling. When draining the oil, remove only the plug.

Connect the other battery cable between the negative (-) battery post and
the grounding terminal (screw, stud, or solderless) on the generator.
INSTALLATION 13
Be sure battery connections are tight. Coat the battery clamps and posts
lightly with grease or vaseline to minimize corrosion. Batteries ship-
ped "dry" must be prepared for use as directed on the tag attached to
each battery. Batteries shipped ready for use were fully charged when
shipped. Such batteries slowly lose their charge when standing idle and
it may be necessary to give them a "freshening" charge before putting
them in use. Use a hydrometer to determine the charge condition.

1-Phase, 2-Wire
On single phase, two wire plants, connect the load wires to the plant by
connecting the ground (white) load wire to the control box terminal marked
"M2". Connect the "hot" ungrounded (black) load wire to the control box
terminal marked "Ml".
1-Phase, 3-Wire
On single phase, three wire plants, connect the load wires to the plant
by connecting the ground (white) load wire to the control box terminal
marked "M2". Connect one of the "hot" ungrounded (black) load wires to
the control box terminal marked "Ml", and connect the remaining "hot"
ungrounded (black) load wire to the control box terminal marked "M3".
Two 120-volt circuits are available. One circuit across "Ml" and "M2"
and another circuit across "M2" and "M3". The load on each 120-volt
circuit should not be more than 1/2 the capacity of the plant.
One 240-volt circuit is available. This circuit is across "Ml" and "M3".
"M2" is not used with a 240-volt circuit. If only 240-volt current is used,
the full rated capacity of the plant may be used.
Both 120-volt current and 240-volt current may be used at the same time.
However, the total of either 120-volt load plus 1/2 the 240-volt load
should not exceed 1/2 the capacity of the plant. For example: a total of
1000-watts is available on each 120-volt circuit of a 2000-watt single
phase 3-wire plant. If 500-watts of current is used on each 120-volt
circuit, only 1000-watts of 240-volt current is used, only 500-watts of
120-volt current is available on each 120-volt circuit.
On single phase, two wire plants, connect the load wires to the plant by
connecting the ground (white) load wire to the generator lead marked
"M2". Connect the black (hot) load wire to the generator output lead
marked "Ml".
1-Phase, 3-Wire
On single phase, three wire plants, connect the load wires to the plant
by connecting the ground (white) load wire to the generator lead marked
"M2". Connect one of the "hot" ungrounded (black) load wires to the gen-
erator lead marked "Ml", and connect the remaining "hot" ungrounded .

NOTE !
GAS F U E L . - Plants equipped to burn gas fuel (natural gas or LPG) are
supplied with an atmospheric type gas pressure regulator.
The regulator is designed to operate on a fuel line pressure of eight (8)
ounces. If the fuel line pressure exceeds eight ounces, a primary type
regulator must be installed ahead of the regulator supplied, to reduce

When using a detergent type oil, always use oil of the same brand when
adding oil between oil changes. When mixed together, detergent oils of
different manufacturers sometimes form chemical compounds that are
harmful to internal engine parts.
Place a drop or two of non-gumming oil at the point where the governor
linkage engages the carburetor throttle a r m . Units with plastic type

T H I S .DIRECTION TO OPEN
'.To start the plant, push the START-STOP toggle switch to the START
position. The plant should start after a few revolutions. The carbure-
ttor ;isjautomatically choked. If the plant does not start after a few
crank ings of .approximately 5 seconds each, carefully check the fuel and
igriition systems. Release the start switch as soon as the plant starts,
tmaking-sure:that the:switch.returns to the center position. If one pr
imore.remote control switches have been installed, check the installa-
itiontby 'trying the START tand STOP positions of each remote control
:switch. Gaseous.fue led models do not use choke.
OPERATION 27
IMPORTANT! !
This unit has been run and tested for about 3 to 4-hours at the factory.
Additional break-in time is required and will vary depending upon load
conditions, oil used,etc. Load during break-in should be between 1/2
load and rated load, preferably near rated load for best results. Above
procedure will result in faster break-in and lower o i l consumption.
APPLYING THE LOAD. - Best results are obtained if the plant is
allowed to thoroughly warm up before apply-
ing a heavy load. Load wires should be connected before operating,
according to the model in question, as instructed under INSTALLATION.
Apply the load to the remote control type plant by throwing the main line
switch to the ON position. If no main line switch was installed, throw
the switch for the individual load to the ON position. When possible
apply portions of the load in steps.
28 ; OPERATION
Procedure for applying the load to the manual type plant will depend up-
on the installation and application. If no plug-in receptacles were added
at the plant, load application as given for remote control type plants
w i l l apply.
STOPPING THE PLANT. - To stop the manual type engine, press the
STOP button on the cover of the ignition
breaker box until the engine has come to a complete stop. The high
tension magneto provides a f i r i n g spark even when the engine is running
at very few rpm. Release of the STOP switch.too soon will allow the
plant to again pick up speed and continue to run.
To stop the remote'control type plant, hold the remote STOP switch or
hold.the control box switch at the STOP position.
i
In. an. emergency, if the STOP button fails to work, the plant may be
stopped-by closing the fuel shut-off valve.

LUBRICATION. - In temperatures above 90° (32 C.) for continuous
operation use SAE number 50 oil. Keep the oil level
close to the f u l l level, and change the oil at least every 100 operating
hours.
COOLING. - The engine and generator of this plant depend upon a con-
stant supply of fresh air for proper cooling. See that no-
thing obstructs the circulation of air to and around the plant. Keep
cooling fins clean and unobstructed. Make sure that the blower housing
and cylinder air housings are properly in place and are undamaged.
Keep the ignition timing properly adjusted.
Standard automotive type storage batteries will self discharge very quick-
o

such as in a boiler room. To lengthen battery life, adjust the electro-
lyte from a normal 1. 275 reading at full charge, to a 1. 225 reading.
The cranking power of the battery is reduced somewhat when its elec-
trolyte is diluted to reduce acid activity and thus lengthen battery life.

Because the air becomes less dense as the altitude increases, less
fuel is required to maintain the proper air-to-fuel ratio. Consequently
any engine will develop less total power at higher altitudes. The usual
decrease in maximum power available at high altitudes is'approximately
•four percent for each 1, 000-feet above sea level.

When brushes are replaced be sure the commutator and slip rings are
in A - l condition. Seat brushes per instructions in service manual.
Follow a definite schedule of. inspection and servicing to assure the best
performance and long life of the plant. Service periods outlined below
are for average service and normal operating conditions. Under un-
usual service or abnormal operating conditions, service the plant more
frequently. Keep a record of the hours the plant is operated each day to
assure servicing at the proper time.
DAILY SERVICE
F U E L . - Check the fuel supply often enough to avoid running out of fuel.
NEVER F I L L THE F U E L TANK WHILE THE PLANT IS RUN-
NING. Use clean, fresh, regular automotive type gasoline of at least
68 octane rating. Use of a highly leaded premium grade of gasoline is
not recommended.
CRANKCASE OIL L E V E L . - Remove the oil fill cap and check the crank-
case oil level. Add oil as necessary to
keep the oil level at the full mark on the gage. Recommended grades of
oil are given under PREPARATION. Avoid overfilling which will allow
the connecting rod to cause oil foaming and interfere with efficient lub-
rication.
The oil fill cap gasket must always be in good condition and the cap must
always be securely tightened in place. Air leakage into the crankcase
at this point will cause oil leakage around the seals and excessive oil
consumption.
WEEKLY SERVICE
SPARK PLUG. - Clean the spark plug and reset the gap as given in the
Table of Clearances. Test the plug under compression
on a plug testing machine, if one is available. Replace a defective plug.
BATTERY. - If the plant uses a starting battery, keep the connections
tight and clean. Keep the electrolyte at the proper level
above the separators by adding clean water. Distilled water is recom-
mended for use in batteries. If distilled water is not obtainable, use
clean soft water such as filtered rain water. Do not use water which
contains alkali or minerals. Use a hydrometer to check the charge
condition before adding water. In freezing weather, add water only be-
fore running the plant, to assure mixing the water with the electrolyte.
MONTHLY SERVICE
FUEL SYSTEM. - On plants with a separate fuel tank, drain the fuel
tank and remove the shut-off valve and filter assem
bly. Carefully clean the filter screen. Tighten connections well when
reassembling. Empty carburetor bowl and fuel filter bowl of any sedi-
ment which may have accumulated.

the battery ground before servicing controls to avoid accidental shorts.
The governor arm is fastened to a shaft which extends from the gear
cover and is connected by a ball joint and link to the carburetor throttle
arm. If the carburetor has been removed, or the governor disassembled,
it may be necessary to readjust the governor.
A binding in the bearings of the shaft which extends from the gear cover,
in the ball joint, or in the carburetor throttle assembly will cause slow
governor action or poor regulation. Looseness or excessive wear in
the governor mechanism will cause erratic governor action or alternate
increase and decrease in speed (hunting). A lean carburetor adjustment
may also cause hunting. Springs of all kinds have a tendency to lose
their calibrated tension through fatigue after long usage. If all gover-
nor and carburetor adjustments are properly made, and the governor
action is still erratic, replacing the spring with a new one and reset-
ting the adjustments will usually correct the trouble.
When the plant is stopped, tension of the governor spring should hold
the carburetor throttle arm at the wide open position, pushed toward
the generator end of the plant. At wide open position, the lever on the
throttle shaft should just touch the carburetor body or clear it by no
more than 1/32 inch. This setting can be obtained by increasing or de-
creasing the length of the connecting linkage as necessary, by turning
the ball joint on the threads of the link. Be sure to retighten the ball
joint to the governor arm. This operation synchronizes governor action
with the carburetor throttle action.

The. carburetor is. a side (horizontal): draft type and has two adjusting
needles. The "idle" needle is located nearer the cylinder head. The
"main" needle is located on the top nearer the air cleaner. Turning
the/needle inward gives a leaner fuel mixture for either jet.
The?correct setting for the main jet needle-gives the best stability at
full rated: load operation. The correct setting for the idle needle gives
theibest. stability* at no load operation.
Slowly turn the main adjusting needle inward (clockwise) for leaner mix-
ture, until the plant begins to lose speed, or the voltage drops. Turn
the needle outward (counterclockwise) to the point where the plant will
carry the full load. Check the operation at various loads. If there is
a tendency to hunt (alternately increase and decrease speed) at any
load, turn the adjusting needle out for richer fuel mixture, until the hunt
is corrected, but do not turn the adjusting needle out more than 1/2
turn beyond the point where maximum generator output is obtained.
Adjust the idle needle with the plant warm, and with no ac electrical
load connected, slowly turn the idle adjusting needle inward (clockwise)
until the plant loses speed from lack of fuel. Then turn the needle slow-
ly outward until the plant runs smoothly. Refer also to Abnormal Oper-
ation Conditions.
The throttle idle stop screw should be adjusted to clear the throttle shaft
stop by 1/32" when the plant is operating at desired speed and no load
condition. This setting helps prevent hunting during changes in load.

The valves should not be hand lapped, if at all avoidable, since the sharp
contact may be destroyed. This is especially important where stellite
faced valves and seats are used. Valve faces should be finished in a
machine to 44°. Valve seats should be ground with a 45° stone, and the
width of the seat band should be 1/32 to 3/64 of an inch wide. Grind
only enough to assure proper seating.
Remove all grinding compound from engine parts and place each valve
in its proper locaticm. Check each valve for a tight seat, using an air
pressure type testing tool. If such a tool is not available, make pencil
marks at intervals across the valve face and observe if the marks rub
off uniformly when the valve is rotated part of a turn against the seat.
Lightly oil the valve stems and reassemble all parts removed. Adjust
the valve clearance.
T A P P E T ADJUSTMENT. - The tappet clearance may be easily checked
after first removing the valve compartment
cover and the blower housing. Crank the engine over by hand until the
intake valve (the one nearest the carburetor) opens and closes. Contin-
ue turning the flywheel slowly until the mark on the flywheel is in align-
ment with the TC mark on the gear cover. The correct tappet clearance
for both the intake and exhaust valves appear in the Table of Clearance.
Tappets are fitted with self locking adjusting screws. Use a 7/16"
wrench for the screw, and a 9/16" wrench for the tappet when making
any adjustment.

The camshaft gear is pressed on and keyed to the camshaft. The cam-
shaft and gear must be removed as an assembly, after f i r s t removing
the crankshaft gear lock ring and washer. Before removing the cam-
shaft and gear assembly, remove the cylinder head and valve assem-
blies. Remove the operating plunger for the breaker points. Remove
the fuel pump (where used) and tappets. After removing the governor
cup assembly from-the gear, the camshaft may be pressed out of the
gear by use of a hollow tool or pipe which will f i t over the camshaft cen-
ter pin. Do not press on the center pin or damage it in any way. The
governor ball spacer is a press f i t to the camshaft gear.
Note that each timing gear is stamped with "O" mark near the edge. The
gear teeth must mesh so that these marks exactly coincide when the
gears are installed, in the engine. Be sure, when installing the camshaft
gear and shaft assembly, that the thrust washer is properly in place be-
hind the camshaft gear. Replace the retaining washer and lock ring to
the crankshaft.
PISTON AND RINGS. - The piston and connecting rod assembly are re-
moved through the top of the cylinder. The pis-
ton is fitted with two compression rings and one oil control ring. The
piston ring grooves should be cleaned of any carbon deposits, and the
oil return holes in the lower groove must be open. Before installing
new rings on the piston, check the ring gap by placing each ring squarely
in the cylinder at a position corresponding to the bottom of its travel.
The gap between the ends of the ring should be as given in the Table of
Clearances. Rings which are slightly oversize may be filed as neces-
sary to obtain the correct gap, but do not use rings which require too
much filing. Standard size rings may be used on a .005" oversize pis-
ton. . 010", . 020" and . 030" oversize rings are to be used on . 010",
.020", and . 030" oversize pistons, respectively. Rings of the tapered
type are usually marked "TOP" on one side, or identified in some other
manner, and the ring must be installed with this mark toward the closed
end of the piston. Space each ring gap one third of the way around the
piston from the preceding one, with no gap directly in line with the pis-
ton pin. The bottom piston ring groove should be fitted with an oil con-
trol ring and the two upper grooves fitted with compression rings. If
a chrome faced ring is used, it will be in the top groove.

The piston is fitted with a full floating type piston pin. The pin is kept
in place by two lock rings in the piston, one at each side. Be sure these
lock rings are properly in place before installing the piston and connect-
ing rod in the engine. Correct piston to cylinder clearance appears in
the Table of Clearance.
CONNECTING ROD. - Mark the connecting .rod before removing it to as-
sure reassembling with the same side facing the
camshaft. Note that the oil dipper splashes oil away from the camshaft.
The connecting rod.cap is installed on the side away from the camshaft.

The connecting rod and piston assembly must be properly aligned be-
fore reassembly to the engine. The aligning should be done on an ac-
curate aligning gauge by a competent operator. Misalignment may
cause rapid wear of piston, pin, cylinder and connecting rod.

GENERATOR
The generator normally needs little care other than a periodic check of
the brushes, commutator and collector rings. If a major repair job on
the generator should become necessary, have the equipment checked by
a competent electrician who is thoroughly familiar with the operation of
electric generating equipment. Continuity tests may be performed with-
out disassembly of the generator.
Turn the armature nut out to the end of the armature through stud. While
pulling outward with one hand under the armature, strike a sharp end-
wise blow on the nut to loosen the armature. Remove the armature and
blower as an assembly. The blower is a keyed and pressed f i t on the
armature shaft, and is a keyed and tapered fit to the engine crankshaft.
If the armature does not come loose, place a heavy brass rod on the
armature shaft near the ball bearing and strike a sharp downward blow
on the rod with a hammer. Rotate the armature 1/2 turn before re-
peating. Do not strike the commutator, collector rings, or bearing.
Whenever a new brush rig or armature is installed, the brush rig must
be adjusted to the point where the brushes do not arc regardless of where
the witness mark falls. This is commonly known as the "neutral" brush
position.

TESTING FIELD WINDINGS. - Use a test lamp set for all tests except
a short circuit. The field coils of all
ac plants are saturated shunt wound, the Remote Start plants having a
series field winding in addition for cranking and battery charging pur-
poses. When testing a field coil assembly, disconnect all of its exter-
nal leads from their terminals. Tag and mark each lead to assure pro-
per connections when reassembling.
READI-PULL STARTER
To install a new rope, rotate the sheave (10) with crankshaft rotation
direction to fully tighten the spring (8), back up only as necessary to
align the hole in the sheave with the slot in the cover (5), clamp the
rope to the sheave, then when released the rope will wind on the sheave.
To install a new recoil spring remove the sheave from the cover. Wind
the spring, with its rivet heads outward, forming a coil small enough
to be inserted in the recess of the starter cover. It may be necessary
to tie the spring with a piece of wire to prevent its unwinding during in-
stallation unless other help is available. Place the spring in the cover
recess in crankshaft rotation direction. Remove the tying wire if used.
While holding the spring to prevent its unwinding install the inside end
of the spring on the roll pin (7) in the cover. With the pull rope re-
moved, install the sheave assembly in the cover so that the tab on the
sheave enters the outside end loop of the recoil spring. Be sure the
thrust washer (9) is in place. Then install the pull rope.
Spring breakage is much less common than spring fatigue due to long
usage. In either case the spring should be replaced. Cleaning and lub-
ricating the pawls, and ratchet arms in the rope sheave will improve
a sluggish acting recoil. To temporarily extend the life of a fatigued
spring, try rewinding it "inside out" (rivets heads inward).
To install a ratchet arm (13) in the sheave, the pawl (11) must first be
removed. The ratchet arm will fit in only the correct position. The
spring pawl must be installed with its flat edge against the ratchet arm.
The anti-back lash cogwheel (6) is an easy press fit on the starter
cover.

mounting nuts, remove the blower housing and install the nuts in the
square holes (2) in the blower housing. See detail A. Reinstall the
blower housing, tightening securely in place.
4. Note that there are two small holes drilled through the starter cov-
er. See detail C. Pull slowly out on the starter rope while sight-
ing through one of these holes. When the starter is turned a partial
turn, the open-center roll pins in the starter rope sheave will align
with these two holes. While holding in the aligned position, insert a ten
penny common nail through each of the holes. Push the nails in up to
their heads.
5. Install the starter assembly (3) to the blower housing, making sure
that the nail ends enter the pilot holes in the ratchet wheel mounting

the starter, using a hex head screw (4), lockwasher (5), and two flat
washers (6) at each mounting arm as shown in the detail drawing A.
Tighten the mounting screws securely. Remove the nails.
