Parts for Briggs & Stratton 12S802-0855-99: Rewind Assembly Parts

This OEM starter grip is a replacement for select Briggs & Stratton engines. The starter rope grip provides the handle that is used to pull the starter rope. When it is pulled, the starter recoil spring engages the flywheel puller, which then causes the flywheel to rotate and starts the rotation of the blade as the engine fires. The starter rope grip is made of durable plastic but it can become damaged or cracked over time. If it is broken, the rope will be unable to be pulled to engage the engine until the part is replaced. This is a genuine starter grip designed to work with a variety of lawn and garden equipment that features a Briggs & Stratton engine with a pull-start. The starter grip is sold in two pieces with the grip and a cap that snaps on once the rope has been tied inside of the handle to secure it in place. The unit is sold individually. This item does not include the rope or any additional parts.

This is an OEM replacement part for the recoil pulley and spring assembly, also called the rewind pulley and spring. The recoil starter, which is operated by a rope, will engage the drive cup on the flywheel, which will start the engine when it is pulled. These are commonly found on lawnmowers and similar outdoor equipment. If the rewind begins to bind when pulling the rope, or if it does not rewind easily, it could indicate that a replacement is needed. In addition, if the plastic on the old pulley is worn and cracked, it is a good idea to replace it before it fails entirely. This OEM assembly comes from the manufacturer and includes the pulley and the spring. The pulley is made from plastic, and the spring is metal. The part can be used for a range of machines and brands. The pulley and spring assembly are compatible with lawnmowers, tillers, and other small engines from brands like Craftsman, Briggs & Stratton, Snapper, Lawn-Boy, Toro, and Cub Cadet.

A rewind starter, also called a recoil starter, is an assembly on many types of lawn and garden equipment used to trigger combustion in the engine. Set at the front or top of the engine, it cues the starting mechanism to turn the engine fast enough for a spark to ignite fuel in the cylinder when the handle is pulled. This part features a recoil spring connected to a pulley, and when the rope is yanked, it stretches a recoil spring. Letting go of the rope causes the spring to snap back, and the user will be able to continually pull the rope and get things moving faster and faster until there is combustion. The rope is part of the pulley system that will pull out and recoil quickly into the starter cover on top of the engine when the user pulls the starter rope’s handle. If there is no recoil or the rope gets stuck, it may need to be replaced. Without a functional starter assembly, the machine won’t work. A rewind starter kit can be used to address this issue. An authentic OEM part, it works with Briggs & Stratton and Husqvarna equipment. It contains a plastic shroud, starter pulley, starter spring, grip, the pull rope, and all hardware necessary to attach it to the machine.
