Craftsman Tiller Starter

The recoil starter assembly is comprised of the housing, the recoil spring, the starter pulley, the starter rope, and the plastic starter grip. It creates the motion that spins the flywheel to engage the engine. The grip is pulled, which extends the rope and activates the starter spring, which then engages the starter pulley and the flywheel, respectively. Over time, various components of the recoil starter can become damaged or worn with regular use. This is often going to require a replacement and in most cases, it will be easier to replace the entire assembly than a single component. This genuine OEM recoil starter is manufactured by MTD and is made to exact standards. It can be used with more than 150 MTD engines on lawn equipment, including from brands like Craftsman, Bolens, Yard-Man, Yard Machines, Remington, Husky, RYOBI, and Cub Cadet.

This OEM starter grip is a replacement for select Briggs & Stratton engines. The starter rope grip provides the handle that is used to pull the starter rope. When it is pulled, the starter recoil spring engages the flywheel puller, which then causes the flywheel to rotate and starts the rotation of the blade as the engine fires. The starter rope grip is made of durable plastic but it can become damaged or cracked over time. If it is broken, the rope will be unable to be pulled to engage the engine until the part is replaced.

The starter grip is sold in two pieces with the grip and a cap that snaps on once the rope has been tied inside of the handle to secure it in place. The unit is sold individually.
