Edger Starter

This starter rope is designed for use with several lawn and garden tools, including as hedge trimmers. It is wrapped around the starter pulley and can be manually pulled on to get the engine to start up. After wear and tear or a lot of use, the rope can start to fray and weaken. Given more time, the starter rope will completely break and no longer be useable. Many people will realize the starter rope is broken when pulling on it and receiving a line of rope in their hands. If the starter rope is broken, it needs to be replaced. First, the spark plug needs to be removed to prevent the engine from powering on. Next, the starter rope can be removed from the guide. The engine cover and fuel tank will need to be removed, as well as the dipstick tube and blower housing. Next, the recoil spring should be rewound before threading the new rope into the pulley. This is an individual genuine OEM component that comes directly from the manufacturer for the highest quality. It can be used with Echo, Little Wonder, and Shindaiwa trimmers, chipper shredders, leaf blowers, and hedge trimmers. A replacement will require basic tools like screwdrivers and a socket wrench.

Fix a broken or worn starter handle that won't pull easily. This starter rope grip restores easy pull-starting on lawn mower and outdoor power engines.

This is a genuine replacement for the recoil starter assembly on select Echo lawn and garden equipment engines. The starter assembly is what starts the machine, and it is subject to a lot of repetitive motion with regular use. It may wear out or the plastic may become broken. In some cases, the starter rope could break and it may be easier to replace the entire assembly. This genuine OEM starter assembly is manufactured by Echo to exact standards and is sold as a single assembly. The recoil starter assembly includes the starter recoil housing, the starter rope, and the plastic pull handle used to start the unit. It does not include the hardware that is used to secure the assembly so that will require an additional purchase for those who need it. The repair will require a hex key or Allen wrench. To perform this repair, allow the engine to cool and disconnect the power. Then, remove the four screws securing the assembly to the unit and discard the old starter assembly. Install the new one, reattach the four screws, and then reconnect the power supply. Always wear gloves when performing engine repairs and parts replacements.
