The flywheel key is the component on outdoor equipment that keeps the flywheel connected to the crankshaft. Over time, this key may become damaged or broken, particularly if the engine experiences a forceful stop, like hitting a large stationary object. If the flywheel key breaks, the engine will not start. A slightly damaged flywheel key is noticeable through symptoms like misfiring, backfiring, or having no power. If any of these are occurring, the flywheel key should be replaced to prevent complete engine failure.A flywheel puller tool is required for this repair. Make sure the engine is cool before working on the flywheel. Wear safety gear, including gloves and eye protection. Disconnect the spark plug and remove the blower housing. Remove the flywheel mounting nut and set it aside. Take the recoil starter cup off the mower. Use the flywheel puller to remove the flywheel and access the flywheel key. Remove the broken flywheel and replace it with the new flywheel. Reverse the steps to put the mower back together.This flywheel key is made of an aluminum alloy and is sold as an individual part. It is designed for use in lawnmowers, lawn tractors, and other small engines manufactured by Briggs and Stratton, Toro, Lawn-Boy, Simplicity, MTD, and others.

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 is a replacement screw that can be used on various types of lawn and garden equipment. The type of equipment will affect where the screw is used on the tool.

This durable plastic ratchet pawl is used on select engines that feature what is known as a Susa starter. In this configuration, the ratchet pawl will be responsible for engaging the recoil starting system. Then, the starting system will allow the engine to fire. Over time, the pawl can become worn or damaged due to regular use. If this happens, the recoil can slip and cause difficulties with starting the engine. If the engine isn’t starting or you can hear it slipping when you try to fire it up, a replacement ratchet pawl could be needed. Be sure to allow the engine to cool before replacing any parts or doing any work and always wear gloves.

The spark plug boot is a rubber piece that is responsible for connecting the spark plug to the spark plug wires and completing the connection. Spark plugs are necessary to create the engine spark that will start the motor in lawn equipment and other small engines. The boot holds the terminal and keeps everything protected from the elements and insulated so that it continues to work correctly. If the spark plug connection seems weak or if the existing boot is damaged, this replacement could provide the solution. This durable rubber boot will insulate the spark plugs and help any small engine run better. This spark plug boot replacement can be used with a number of Briggs & Stratton engines and is compatible with hundreds of different machines from Toro, Lawn-Boy, and Briggs & Stratton. This boot replacement is sold individually as a single piece and does not include the terminal or any other housing or materials.
This replacement friction spring is a genuine OEM part meant for any number of small appliance engines run using a starter rope. This spring absorbs large amounts of kinetic energy that could damage the starter rope pulley system. It helps keep the pulley from being overstretched, which would create enough pressure to break the entire system. This spring sits at the center of the pulley system and creates resistance as the user yanks the starter rope. Friction springs can become worn out after repeated use, especially if a user tends to yank the starter rope quite forcefully. The most obvious sign of a worn of friction spring is if the pulley system lacks any resistance. As the user pulls the cord, they should feel a little pull back, but if the friction spring is worn, there will be much less resistance. Replacing this part is straightforward and will only require a screwdriver. Simply open the pulley system, carefully remove the old spring, and install the new one. This part is compatible with a wide number of appliances from Toro, Vanguard, Briggs & Stratton, and Lawnboy. It comes sourced from the original manufacturer and ships individually.
This genuine OEM replacement part is a spark plug terminal for a wide variety of small combustion engines. In a combustion engine, the spark plug generates a small electrical charge that creates enough power to start up the ignition and engage combustion. The plug connects to the ignition through the terminal. Spark plugs generate and then pass a small electrical current through to the ignition. Usually, the main issue with spark plugs is that this current hyper-extends and ends up frying the spark plug. However, if the terminal is damaged, the charge will not pass into the ignitor, and the engine will not turn. If the spark plug can carry a charge but the engine still won't turn, it's likely the terminal that needs replacing. This is an easy repair because the terminal should just snap on and off. If stuck, a pair of needle-nose pliers should make it easier. This high-quality replacement part is compatible with engines from Murray, Toro, Lawn Boy, and Briggs & Stratton. It is sourced from the original manufacturer and ships individually.
Firing up the lawn mower should be a simple act: hold down the safety bar, grip the hand pull, and yank the rope. What if nothing happens? The pulley works by tightening the spring, then letting it loose, creating compressed air and fuel at the same time the magneto fires the spark plug. It is rare to have an issue with the pulley spring assembly that starts the chain reaction and results in the engine coming to life, but it is possible for the part to fail. If there is a problem with the starter mechanism then it is typically the rope pull wearing out. Users will know when the pulley assembly isn't working either because there is no resistance when the rope is pulled or pulling the rope results in no compression (the engine doesn't sound as if it's turning). When it is determined that the pulley spring needs to be replaced, the user should examine the pull rope and handle to make sure those items do not need to be replaced as well. The most important consideration in replacing this part is to make sure the replacement is an OEM genuine replacement part, which will exactly match this pulley. The pulley is compatible with Cub Cadet and Briggs & Stratton engines.
