Ace String Trimmer Starter

Also known as a rewind starter, the recoil starter assembly is the part in a string trimmer that drives the engine's combustion process. When the component is engaged, the engine can be started by hand to create sufficient speed to bring all of the operating systems on board. In cases where there is damage to the recoil starter assembly, the trimmer will not turn on.Wear and tear from frequent or extended use can cause the recoil starter assembly to fail. The most common symptom of a broken or damaged recoil starter assembly is a slack pull rope. If this happens, the recoil starter will need to be replaced as the equipment cannot be used without a working recoil starter. Replacing the part will require a set of work gloves and basic tools. The housing cap and rope should be removed before replacement.This recoil starter assembly is an authentic OEM replacement part that is directly sourced from the manufacturer. It is sold as an individual part. The starter assembly is compatible with several string trimmers manufactured by Craftsman, MTD, and Troy-Bilt.

This is a genuine replacement pawl assembly for select MTD engines. This pawl assembly attaches to the crankshaft in the motor. It is responsible for rotating the shaft and flywheel as a reaction to the recoil starter rope being pulled. The part is subject to constant motion and can wear down over time or otherwise fail. If the pawl assembly goes bad, the shaft and flywheel will not be able to rotate and the engine will not run properly, if at all. A replacement part like this model will solve the problem for compatible units. This genuine OEM pawl is manufactured by MTD to exact standards to provide a fit for compatible machines from Troy-Bilt, MTD, Cub Cadet, and Yard Man, including blowers and trimmers. This pawl assembly includes the metal housing, two plastic pawls, and two springs, which makes it a complete part that requires no additional purchase. This unit is sold as an individual piece. Ensure the engine is cool prior to repair and wear gloves to ensure hand protection when working on the moving parts of the engine. Disconnect the spark plug to protect from accidental engine engagement, as well.
