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.

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.
