Description

This is a high-quality starter motor that is used for small engines installed on a variety of lawnmower models. The starter motor is responsible for providing initial motion, which causes the flywheel to engage and start the engine. The starter motor is located on the engine crankcase and makes the flywheel teeth connect with the starter motor plunger teeth to power up the engine. A bad starter motor can have many symptoms, including a clicking noise when the ignition is pressed, cranking noises without engine turnover, or a lawnmower that does not start.If the starter motor needs to be replaced, the lawnmower will need to be disassembled to access the part. Remove the shroud, disconnect the battery, and remove the fan. The flywheel can be removed using a gear puller, after which the wire and bolts should be removed. Next, remove the starter motor and replace it with a new part.This starter motor is an authentic OEM replacement component that is directly sourced from the manufacturer. It is sold as an individual part. The motor is designed for use with lawnmowers manufactured by Briggs & Stratton, Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Toro, and Simplicity.
