Features:
1. Energy Storage: The starter spring is designed to store energy when the starter rope is pulled and then release it to retract the rope back into the starter housing. |
2. Coiled Design: The spring is coiled tightly to provide maximum tension within a compact space, ensuring that the rope is retracted with the necessary force. |
3. Durability: It is built to endure the repetitive tension and compression cycles required during each pull-start action. |
4. Corrosion Resistance: Given the marine environment, the spring is often made of materials that resist rust and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance even in saltwater conditions. |
Functions:
1. Recoil Mechanism: The primary function of the starter spring is to rewind the starter rope after it has been pulled. This action resets the rope for the next pull in case the engine doesn't start on the first attempt. |
2. Ensures Proper Rope Retraction: By maintaining the right amount of tension, the spring ensures that the starter rope retracts fully into the housing without slack or tangles. |
3. Stabilizes Pull Mechanism: It works with other components, like the recoil pulley, to provide consistent, reliable performance during the pull-start process, ensuring that the user can easily start the motor. |
The size of the starter spring varies depending on the outboard motor model.
However, most starter springs are coiled in a compact spiral and have:
1. Outer Diameter: Typically ranges from 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) |
2. Thickness of Spring Wire: Around 0.04 to 0.06 inches (1 to 1.5 mm) depending on the engine size and the necessary tension required for retracting the rope. |
Maintenance Tips:
1. Inspect Regularly for Wear: Over time, the starter spring can weaken, lose tension, or become damaged from corrosion. Regularly inspect the spring for signs of rust, wear, or deformation. |
2. Lubricate as Needed: Apply a light lubricant (such as silicone-based sprays or marine-grade grease) to the spring to keep it functioning smoothly and prevent rust. Be cautious not to over-lubricate, as excess grease can attract dirt and debris. |
3. Avoid Pulling Excessively Hard: Although the spring is designed to be durable, repeatedly pulling the starter rope with excessive force can strain the spring. Use smooth, steady pulls to avoid overloading the spring. |
4. Clean After Saltwater Use: If the outboard motor is used in saltwater, always flush the engine and clean the starter components, including the spring, to remove salt deposits. Saltwater can corrode metal parts if not cleaned properly. |
5. Replace If Necessary: If the spring loses tension, breaks, or becomes corroded, it should be replaced promptly. A damaged spring can prevent the starter rope from retracting properly, making it difficult or impossible to start the engine. |
Common Signs of Starter Spring Issues:
1. Starter Rope Doesn't Retract Fully: One of the most common signs of a worn or damaged spring is when the starter rope fails to retract fully or leaves slack after pulling. |
2. Loose or Sluggish Recoil Action: If you notice the recoil mechanism is sluggish or lacks the necessary tension, the spring may have weakened or lost its shape. |
3. No Tension When Pulling the Rope: If there's no tension when pulling the rope, it could indicate that the spring has broken or become detached from the recoil mechanism. |
4. Grinding or Unusual Noises: If you hear grinding or rubbing noises during the pull-start process, it could indicate that the spring has become misaligned or damaged. |
