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.

This rewind recoil starter is a common part designed specifically for use with Briggs & Stratton engines on lawn and garden equipment. The starter grip is pulled, which extends the rope, engaging the starter recoil spring and the starter pulley, which in turn activates the flywheel. The entire process is needed for the engine to start smoothly. Over time, these parts can become worn due to regular use. Starters can seize up or ropes can become overextended, which could require a replacement. Typically, it's easier to replace the entire housing than just the individual components. This genuine OEM replacement part is designed to fit more than 150 Briggs & Stratton engines and is manufactured to exact standards. The assembly is made of high-quality parts and sold as an individual unit. It includes the plastic housing, the plastic starter grip, the pull rope, starter pulley, and the recoil spring. The hardware to attach and secure this assembly is not included and will need to be purchased separately.
