06 recoil skipping

[Sasksummit]

The recoil on my 06 it skipping. Sometimes it will grab other times you have to pull it 3 or 4 times.
I changed the pawl and the housing it grabbs and still the same thing.

Make sure the flywheel key and nut are in good shape. Mine did it, and it ended up being the flywheel had come loose and ruined the key and crank shaft end. Not too expensive but a huge pain in the a##. (split the cases)

I bet you The $50 that you spent on the pawl that it is the rubber washer...
just went through the run around with my 06 and after also thinking it was the Pawl (new heavy duty one from OX that is staying installed) I figured out it was the rubber washer....it needs to have friction to engage the whole assembly.
good luck.

I think it's heat activated.

Our liquid Rotax Hawks act up time to time, other than allways taking it apart, sitting for some time does the trick.

07 800R - After the third new recoil began slipping I went through everything, and could not figure out why sometimes the engagement would slip, or skip and grab. Obviously the plastic parts were just going to break again. I was going to install washers under the contact hub on the flywheel to get the pawls to seat into the hub further, hoping to fixed the slip/skip issue.

Then the dealer in PG suggested I check the bolts that attach the plastic bell housing onto the engine block, and sure enough the housing was missing the critical lower front bolt. As a result the plastic housing could distort just enough when I pulled on the starter rope to let the recoil pawls pop out.

Fixed it, no more problem.

You were right there is a little oring in there to hold friction. I put another little one in as well and seems to be working good now.
Thanks for the input guys.
