Chainsaw Starter

A starter housing assembly is a plastic unit that attaches to the top of the engine to protect the starter. It is also where the starter rope is attached and it covers the flywheel that is responsible for engaging the motor. Debris can hit the cover and cause damage, or it could simply become damaged or worn over time. If this happens, you will want to replace it as soon as possible in order to ensure the safe operation of your equipment. This OEM unit includes the top cover, flange, and hardware necessary for installation. When replacing the starter housing or any other internal parts, disconnect the spark plug for safety. Be sure to wear gloves, as well, and follow all instructions for proper installation. This starter housing assembly is a genuine MTD product that can be used with various walk-behind lawnmower engines. It is compatible with select models from MTD, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Craftsman, Yardman, Yard Machines, Remington, Bolens, LawnChief, Huskee, and Ryobi. Part sold individually.
