Murray Ultra TC300 mini tiller
Murray Ultra TC300 mini tiller
Hi Everyone,
I am wading through my first major repair of a small engine and I have successfully, with the help of MANY videos, I've been able to put the mini tiller back together, EXCEPT for the recoil spring and rope retracting after I pull the rope in an attempt to start the unit. Once I release the flywheel from the blower housing, the rope will retract. I know I must have the pawls in the wrong position and for the life of me, I can not figure out how to place them so my tiller once again works. This is what is in the technician's book: This starter uses two engagement pawls bolted to the flywheel with shoulder bolts. Each pawl uses an engagement spring to keep the pawl in contact with the pulley hub. The pawls lock into two of the four notched surfaces located on the starter pulley when the starter rope is pulled. When the engine fires and the flywheel speed exceeds the speed of the starter pulley, the pawls disengage, and centrifugal force keeps the pawls in the disengaged position (diag. 5-1). I have the page from the Technician's Manual as well, but it won't let me upload that photo here.
