What troubleshooting tips should I know after fitting the new starter?

If you still experience starting issues after installation, common causes include improper rope routing, loose mounting screws, or a damaged starter pawl. Check fastening torque, confirm the rope path is unobstructed, and inspect the clutch and crank engagement if the starter spins freely without engaging.

• Verify all four screws are tightened evenly to spec

• Replace frayed rope or adjust rope length if needed
• Check engine compression and ignition if problems persist
