Engine Recoil Starter Assembly Specifications

This authentic OEM starter assembly is designed for use with lawn and garden engines and is sourced directly from the original manufacturer to ensure quality and compatibility. The assembly includes a durable plastic shroud/housing, starter pulley, recoil spring, pull rope with grip, and the necessary hardware for installation. It functions as the primary mechanism for manually cranking and starting the engine. To complete the replacement, you’ll need a wrench. Simply remove the four screws and nuts securing the old starter assembly, then install the new one using the included hardware. This item is sold as a complete individual assembly.

starter rewind cord broke
I found the model number of the Briggs & Stratton engine on the inside of the engine housing. Ordered a new starter-rewind unit, as the old cord broke and the thing was well worn. The instructions were clear enough, but to get the old starter off I had to drill out four rivets, which just spin around when you try. I used a hacksaw, chisel, pliers, whatever worked on each rivet; this took a while. When they were finally removed, the new starter pull unit was relatively easy to install with the small nuts and bolts provided. On the Yard Machines log splitter, putting back the engine housing is quite tricky; you have to jostle the thing into place, get the pull handle above the cover and line up the bolt holes.
