This starter spring is a genuine OEM replacement part for chainsaws that operate using a starter rope. When an operator pulls the starter rope out, there is a pulley around which the rope then has to recoil. The starter spring maintains tension in the pulley so that the rope will naturally recoil. The starter spring also provides enough tension to prevent the operator from yanking the rope all the way out of the assembly. Through repeated use, and especially if an operator is rough on their appliance, the starter spring can loosen up and will no longer work as effectively. When this happens, the starter pulley will not recoil and the starter rope will hang loose from the appliance. Fortunately, switching out the starter spring is an easy repair that should only require a wrench and a pair of pliers. Be careful when pulling the old spring out. Although it isn't as tense as it once was, it still has the potential to snap back. This replacement starter spring is a high-quality part for Husqvarna, Poulan, and Weed Eater appliances, and as such, it is sourced from its original manufacturer. This part does not ship with any additional hardware.

Line trimmer won't start or pulls hard? This starter pulley kit restores easy starting. Moderately easy DIY repair for gas-powered trimmers.

This is an OEM replacement starter pulley kit designed for use with gas chainsaws. The starter pulley assembly replaces the components of your recoil starter that may fail due to normal wear and tear. The pulley and return spring react to the pull of the starter rope and then engage the flywheel. This is what fires the chainsaw engine. If the starter rope is not reacting or the flywheel is not engaging, there may be an issue with the starter pulley assembly. This repair can be completed with a screwdriver and pliers and doesn’t take a lot of time. This starter pulley kit is a genuine product from Husqvarna, and it is designed for use with Poulan, Jonsered, and Husqvarna engines and outdoor power equipment. This kit includes the plastic pulley, return spring, hub, and two screws for securing the unit. The housing, rope, and starter grip will be sold separately if replacements are needed.

Trimmer won't start or rope won't retract? This starter cup assembly rotates the flywheel to power your engine. Direct-fit part for many trimmers.

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.
