Parts for Briggs & Stratton 12S902-2139-B1: Blower Housing, Cover / Guards, Flywheel, Rewind Starter Parts

Almost all small gasoline engines are started by pulling a starter rope, which initiates the compression in the cylinder that fires a spark plug, igniting the air-fuel mixture that starts a small gasoline engine. Starter ropes may become frayed with use and have to be replaced. Replacing the starter rope is not time-consuming. Begin by removing the shroud, the part of the manifold that covers the starter pulley. After removing the old starter rope, insert one end of the new rope into the pulley assembly and tie a knot in it so it won’t slip out of the slot. Then feed the rope into the starter pulley assembly by holding tension on the rope and using a screwdriver to turn the pulley assembly counter-clockwise until it is taut. Hold the pulley in place with the screwdriver to keep the spring from unwinding as you replace the shroud over the assembly. Keeping the tension on the rope, remove the screwdriver. The only thing left is to attach the starter rope to the mower handle. This starter rope is a genuine OEM manufacturer’s replacement part made by Midwest Engine. It is designed to work on most any Briggs & Stratton, Simplicity, Cub Cadet, or Toro made small engine. These engines are used on lawnmowers, chippers, and other small engines. It is sold individually.

This grip-starter rope is a genuine Midwest Engine replacement part for outdoor appliances with small pull start engines, such as lawn mowers, snowblowers, wood-chippers, leaf blowers, and chainsaws. The grip-starter rope is the piece that allows an appliance user to start the engine by pulling the rope; this mechanism can be referred to as a recoil starter, a starter rewind, or a rope start as well. Any damage to a grip-starter rope will be obvious to the naked eye; while the problems with the actual starting mechanism of a pull start-operated engine might be more difficult to assess and root out, the damage to the actual grip-starter rope itself will come in the form of tears, rips, and general time-worn erosion of the casing material of the rope. If there is significant tearing on the rope itself, this replacement grip-starter rope can serve as a replacement part. Remember to always wear gloves when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. This grip-starter rope is compatible with the following brands: Briggs and Stratton, Toro, Cub Cadet, and Simplicity.
