Remington String Trimmer Starter

This is a genuine replacement pawl assembly for select MTD engines. This pawl assembly attaches to the crankshaft in the motor. It is responsible for rotating the shaft and flywheel as a reaction to the recoil starter rope being pulled. The part is subject to constant motion and can wear down over time or otherwise fail. If the pawl assembly goes bad, the shaft and flywheel will not be able to rotate and the engine will not run properly, if at all. A replacement part like this model will solve the problem for compatible units. This genuine OEM pawl is manufactured by MTD to exact standards to provide a fit for compatible machines from Troy-Bilt, MTD, Cub Cadet, and Yard Man, including blowers and trimmers. This pawl assembly includes the metal housing, two plastic pawls, and two springs, which makes it a complete part that requires no additional purchase. This unit is sold as an individual piece. Ensure the engine is cool prior to repair and wear gloves to ensure hand protection when working on the moving parts of the engine. Disconnect the spark plug to protect from accidental engine engagement, as well.

The string trimmer recoil starter is used to house the recoil pull cord that starts the trimmer. Pulling on the handle of the assembly will cause other elements within the trimmer to engage, so the engine can be fired up.Over time, the string trimmer recoil starter could start to wear down or there might be damage to the trimmer, which results in a broken recoil assembly. If the cover assembly is damaged, it could mean that it is no longer possible to start the trimmer, and it will need to be replaced. This is a genuine OEM replacement part that is sold individually. It will work with string trimmers from a range of different companies. Compatible brands for the string trimmer recoil starter include Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Yard Machines, and MTD.

This recoil spring and pulley assembly is used in a variety of small gasoline engines that power devices such as mowers, lawn tractors, and log splitters, among other yard and landscaping devices. The assembly works by tightly coiling the spring in the starter housing. When the starter rope is pulled, the tension on the spring is suddenly released, creating a spark that fires the air/fuel mixture. The combustion starts the engine. The constant tightening and releasing of the tension at times will cause wear on the spring, resulting in the need to replace the spring and pulley assembly. To replace the recoil starter assembly, begin by removing the housing. Next, untie or starter rope and check to see if it is frayed and needs to be replaced as well. Remove the old assembly and install the new unit. Remember when re-tensioning the spring to wind the pulley in the opposite direction. Holding the pulley tightly so the spring does not release, attach the cap. Reattach the rope and coil it around the pulley. It is advisable to wear gloves for this task because the pulley and springs have sharp edges. This OEM certified replacement assembly is compatible with Yard-Man, Husky, Cub Cadet, MTD, Yard Machines, and Troy-Bilt yard equipment.
