4. Removed rope through housing, untied rope from handle.
5. Installed rope on new drum starter.
6. Installed drum starter on starter assembly, wound spring several turns, then pulled rope end through starter assembly and rope guide. This required several attempts and a little fiddling.

8. Reinstalled starter assembly on chain saw engine.
