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.
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. A screw is used to attach various components together so nothing comes loose while the tool is in use. It can also be used with a nut. It's best to choose a nut that has the same finish and threading as the screw.A screw can be damaged in many ways. If this occurs, it will need to be replaced. Corrosion, wear and tear, extreme stress, and high temperatures can all cause a screw to fail. Inspecting the screw can indicate whether it will need to be replaced. Use a screwdriver to take off the old screw, or use a pair of pliers if the screw has become stripped. Replace it with a new screw.This is an authentic OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer. Each screw is sold individually.

Flange screws have a flange located near the top of the screw, which helps to distribute the connection force over a larger area to reduce potential damage to the machine. It also allows the screws to be used in oversized or irregular holes, and it helps to ensure they stay in place. This flange screw also has a hex top. Screws can last for a long time. However, they may become corroded or worn over time and need to be replaced. They could also become lost and need a replacement. Without all of the screws in the proper places in a machine, it could vibrate too much, which could render it less effective or unsafe to use. The flange screw is a genuine OEM part that can be used with many types of machines including lawn mowers, snowblowers, tillers, pressure washers, leaf blowers, generators, wood chippers, and other small engines.

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. This replacement is a genuine OEM part that includes two ratchet pawls for various Briggs & Stratton engines on small lawn equipment. This part offers compatibility with over 150 engines from Briggs & Stratton, Toro, Lawn-Boy, and Vanguard by Briggs & Stratton.
This is a replacement screw to secure the pawl friction plate used in many types of lawn and garden equipment. The part is also sometimes called a flange bolt. It is identical to the original screw that came with the machine and will replace a lost or damaged screw. The screws could become damaged due to corrosion or an incident that causes the screw to bend or break. They also serve as replacements in case the screw was lost. Replacing the screw is a simple repair to make. This is an authentic OEM replacement screw that is sold individually. Some buyers might want to have an extra screw on hand. The replacement screw for the pawl friction plate can be used on lawn mowers, snowblowers, tillers, pressure washers, generators, edgers, log splitters, wood chippers, and other small engines. Compatible brands include Briggs & Stratton, Craftsman, Toro, Cub Cadet, Lawn-Boy, Snapper, MTD, and Simplicity.
A rewind starter, also called a recoil starter, is an assembly on many types of lawn and garden equipment used to trigger combustion in the engine. Set at the front or top of the engine, it cues the starting mechanism to turn the engine fast enough for a spark to ignite fuel in the cylinder when the handle is pulled. This part features a recoil spring connected to a pulley, and when the rope is yanked, it stretches a recoil spring. Letting go of the rope causes the spring to snap back, and the user will be able to continually pull the rope and get things moving faster and faster until there is combustion. The rope is part of the pulley system that will pull out and recoil quickly into the starter cover on top of the engine when the user pulls the starter rope’s handle. If there is no recoil or the rope gets stuck, it may need to be replaced. Without a functional starter assembly, the machine won’t work. A rewind starter kit can be used to address this issue. An authentic OEM part, it works with Briggs & Stratton and Husqvarna equipment. It contains a plastic shroud, starter pulley, starter spring, grip, the pull rope, and all hardware necessary to attach it to the machine.
This is an authentic muffler deflector screw that is found in small engines for outdoor power equipment from Briggs & Stratton. This metal screw is designed to secure the muffler deflector to the flywheel. In select models, it may also be used to secure the starter clutch to the flywheel. The screw is durable but exposed to high heat and constant wear, which means that it can become damaged or worn with regular use. If the screw is lost or damaged, it will need to be replaced. It should always be replaced with a genuine OEM part. This OEM muffler deflector screw is manufactured by Briggs & Stratton to exact standards and is compatible with several models of small engines. It can be used with various models of blowers, pressure washers, generators, and snow throwers from Toro, Murray, and Briggs & Stratton. It is sold as an individual replacement part. To replace this screw, the flywheel cover will need to be removed. Then, if it is still present, the old screw will need to be removed and the new one can be installed. This screw requires a hex or Torx screwdriver to install. Always wear gloves and disconnect the spark plug for safety when performing engine repairs.
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 is an OEM replacement part for the recoil pulley and spring assembly, also called the rewind pulley and spring. The recoil starter, which is operated by a rope, will engage the drive cup on the flywheel, which will start the engine when it is pulled. These are commonly found on lawnmowers and similar outdoor equipment. If the rewind begins to bind when pulling the rope, or if it does not rewind easily, it could indicate that a replacement is needed. In addition, if the plastic on the old pulley is worn and cracked, it is a good idea to replace it before it fails entirely. This OEM assembly comes from the manufacturer and includes the pulley and the spring. The pulley is made from plastic, and the spring is metal. The part can be used for a range of machines and brands. The pulley and spring assembly are compatible with lawnmowers, tillers, and other small engines from brands like Craftsman, Briggs & Stratton, Snapper, Lawn-Boy, Toro, and Cub Cadet.
