This genuine OEM starter handle is sourced directly from the manufacturer. The starter handle is the visible part of the starter rope component of the pull-start system. This starter system is standard on outdoor lawn and garden equipment. The starter handle is attached to the end of the starter-rope by means of a pass-through hole on the handle. The rope is pushed through the hole, tied, and pulled back into the handle to conceal the knot. The starter handle is made of durable plastic. The heat from the sun and repeated daily use may cause the handle to weaken and break. Cracked starter handles can become a safety hazard. Gripping and pulling a cracked handle can cut skin. Broken handles can also be hard to grip, making it difficult to get a good pull on the starter rope. Thankfully, replacement is simple and no tools are required. Make sure the spark plug is out of the machine to prevent accidental engine starting. Push the rope back up through the handle. Untie the knot but do not let the string go; push it up through the hole in the new handle and tie a knot in the end. Reinstall the spark plug.The starter handle is sold as a single unit. It is designed for leaf blowers, wood chippers, and small engines and is compatible with MTD, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, and Yard Machines.
