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.

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.

No part of an engine is more elemental than the off/on switch. Briggs & Stratton manufacture this switch as a replacement part for more than 150 of their gasoline-powered motors, in particular on their gasoline-powered generators. As equipment that is intended to produce and maintain a great deal of power over several hours at a time, the internal connections of the generator can experience a lot of resistance, which means creating a lot of heat. The rotary off/on switch is a locus of much of that heat since it is the quick, safe way to stop the generator. As a result, the switch can be damaged by heat. Typically, the switch will reveal that it needs to be replaced by failing to remain in the on position. Replacing the rotary switch is a simple matter. Remove the plug cap and stabilize the generator so it cannot move during the procedure. Remove in order the starter rope, air filter assembly, electrical connection from cover, and four cover bolts. The old switch can be pinched out after disconnecting the ground wire. Reverse the order to install this new, OEM guaranteed replacement rotary off/on switch.
