Husqvarna Lawn Mower Starter

This is a starter solenoid used in a variety of riding lawn mowers and yard tractors. Unlike most push mowers that are started by pulling a rope and firing a magneto, riding mowers have starters and batteries. The solenoid is the link between the battery and starter. When the ignition key is turned, electricity from the starter flows through the solenoid to the mower's ignition, firing the engine. Because it is the part subjected to abrupt electrical charges, over time the solenoid's internal workings may fail and the device must be replaced. A symptom of a bad solenoid is the if the engine fails to turn over. To make sure the problem is not the battery, turn the ignition switch on and use a screwdriver to simultaneously touch both terminals of the solenoid. If the engine turns over, the solenoid must be replaced. The solenoid sits inside the engine housing by the starter motor. Before starting to replace it, disconnect the positive battery cable. Replacing this device is as simple as disconnecting the wires that attach it to the battery and unbolting it from the engine housing. This solenoid is a genuine OEM replacement part that is manufactured to be an exact replacement for the original part. This solenoid is compatible with Poulan, Husqvarna, Craftsman, and Weed Eater equipment.

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 OEM starter pawl bridge is manufactured to exact standards and is made by Husqvarna. It is compatible with select Husqvarna and Jonsered trimmers. This durable replacement part is made of metal and sold individually.

This starter spring is a genuine OEM replacement part for chainsaws that operate using a starter rope. When an operator pulls the starter rope out, there is a pulley around which the rope then has to recoil. The starter spring maintains tension in the pulley so that the rope will naturally recoil. The starter spring also provides enough tension to prevent the operator from yanking the rope all the way out of the assembly. Through repeated use, and especially if an operator is rough on their appliance, the starter spring can loosen up and will no longer work as effectively. When this happens, the starter pulley will not recoil and the starter rope will hang loose from the appliance. Fortunately, switching out the starter spring is an easy repair that should only require a wrench and a pair of pliers. Be careful when pulling the old spring out. Although it isn't as tense as it once was, it still has the potential to snap back. This replacement starter spring is a high-quality part for Husqvarna, Poulan, and Weed Eater appliances, and as such, it is sourced from its original manufacturer. This part does not ship with any additional hardware.
