This recoil spring and pulley assembly is used in a variety of small gasoline engines that power devices such as mowers, lawn tractors, and log splitters, among other yard and landscaping devices. The assembly works by tightly coiling the spring in the starter housing. When the starter rope is pulled, the tension on the spring is suddenly released, creating a spark that fires the air/fuel mixture. The combustion starts the engine. The constant tightening and releasing of the tension at times will cause wear on the spring, resulting in the need to replace the spring and pulley assembly. To replace the recoil starter assembly, begin by removing the housing. Next, untie or starter rope and check to see if it is frayed and needs to be replaced as well. Remove the old assembly and install the new unit. Remember when re-tensioning the spring to wind the pulley in the opposite direction. Holding the pulley tightly so the spring does not release, attach the cap. Reattach the rope and coil it around the pulley. It is advisable to wear gloves for this task because the pulley and springs have sharp edges. This OEM certified replacement assembly is compatible with Yard-Man, Husky, Cub Cadet, MTD, Yard Machines, and Troy-Bilt yard equipment.

The primer bulb is a small plastic piece that will draw fuel from the fuel reservoir and into the carburetor when it is pressed down. This ensures that the fuel can get into the carburetor so that combustion can happen in the engine. If the primer bulb is broken or damaged on the engine, it will mean that the carburetor will not be getting the fuel it needs to get the engine to start. In some cases, the engine might not start at all. Other times, it might take a while to get the engine to start. These could indicate that it is time to replace the bulb. This is an OEM replacement part that is sold individually. It will work with lawnmowers and other types of small engines. The bulb is compatible with a range of different popular brands including Toro, Kawasaki, Cub Cadet, MTD, and Craftsman.
