Generator Starter

The starter grip, also sometimes known as the recoil starter knob, is designed to provide a handle to engage the pull-start flywheel on many lawn and garden equipment engines. The handle is attached to a rope, which is attached to the starter housing. When the grip is pulled, the rope causes the starter spring and pulley to engage, which then engages the flywheel and allows the engine to start. Without a starter grip handle, the engine cannot be engaged. A full replacement will be necessary, and this part can do the job. This genuine OEM starter grip handle is designed for use with select engines manufactured by Honda and used on lawn and garden equipment from Honda, Toro, and Lawn Boy. There are more than 150 compatible models. This part requires no tools to install unless the rope needs trimmed. Simply thread the rope through the hole in the starter handle, loop it and tie a knot, and thread it back through the eye bolt that secures the handle in place, if the equipment has that feature. This starter grip is sold individually and does not include the starter rope or other components. It may be wise to disconnect the spark plug before attempting to repair or replace any of the starter components, including this grip.

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. This is a genuine starter grip designed to work with a variety of lawn and garden equipment that features a Briggs & Stratton engine with a pull-start. 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. This item does not include the rope or any additional parts.
