Craftsman String Trimmer Starter

This starter pulley kit is designed for use on string trimmers. It is made to spin the flywheel so the engine will start up when the starter rope is pulled. Sometimes, the teeth on the starter pulley can wear out with extended use. This can result in teeth that do not contact the pawls on the flywheel. In some cases, the pulley will also wear in the area where the recoil spring attaches. If the string trimmer's engine isn't starting, has trouble starting, or has a pull rope that won't retract, a starter pulley kit offers the replacement parts needed. Before the replacement of the part is done, the engine should be cool to the touch. The wire and boot should also be removed from the spark plug before replacement to prevent starting the engine. This is a genuine OEM component that comes directly from the manufacturer. It's designed for use on gas-powered string trimmers by Husqvarna, Craftsman, and Poulan. It is made of hard plastic and steel and comes with the recoil spring, drive pulley, rewind pulley, and drive spring. This is sold as an individual kit.

The starter spring is what is used to create the recoil to start the engine on pull-start chainsaws, blowers, trimmers, and other lawn equipment. When the starter handle is pulled, the rope extends and pulls on the spring, causing it to tighten and then release, which creates the action to fire the motor. It may also be called the recoil spring, rewind spring, or return spring, but they all refer to the starter spring. Over time, this can become worn with use, and in some situations, it can even break completely. If the starter rope will not rewind into the housing, the spring may be twisted and need to be replaced. If so, this genuine OEM starter spring will do the job for compatible machines. This model is manufactured by Husqvarna and compatible with various Poulan and Husqvarna lawn equipment. This spring may serve as a replacement for many machines including blowers, hedge trimmers, grass trimmers, chain saws, and saws. Check the user manual for compatibility and fit, as well as part numbers. Be sure to install this according to all instructions and diagrams for safe and proper operation.

The starter pawl bridge provides the resistance for the starter rope that is required to fire the engine. The bridge connects to the flywheel and is responsible for making it spin when the starter rope is pulled. Over time, the pawl can become worn with use. In the event that other starter components go bad, those can also damage the pawl. If the flywheel does not engage, it may be a faulty pawl. Always use gloves when replacing engine components and be certain to disconnect the spark plug before working on any engine parts.

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.
