Parts for Briggs & Stratton 103M02-0070-F1: Rewind Starter / Flywheel Parts

This grip-starter rope is a genuine Midwest Engine replacement part for outdoor appliances with small pull start engines, such as lawn mowers, snowblowers, wood-chippers, leaf blowers, and chainsaws. The grip-starter rope is the piece that allows an appliance user to start the engine by pulling the rope; this mechanism can be referred to as a recoil starter, a starter rewind, or a rope start as well. Any damage to a grip-starter rope will be obvious to the naked eye; while the problems with the actual starting mechanism of a pull start-operated engine might be more difficult to assess and root out, the damage to the actual grip-starter rope itself will come in the form of tears, rips, and general time-worn erosion of the casing material of the rope. If there is significant tearing on the rope itself, this replacement grip-starter rope can serve as a replacement part. Remember to always wear gloves when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. This grip-starter rope is compatible with the following brands: Briggs and Stratton, Toro, Cub Cadet, and Simplicity.

This replacement rewind starter, sometimes called a recoil starter, features a pull handle and the assembly used to replace a rewind starter that is not functioning properly on small engines. When pulled, the starter engages the flywheel and other elements in the engine to get it started and running. There are many reasons that the rewind starter could need to be replaced. Parts of the assembly could become damaged, or the starter rope could become frayed and break. The handle could break over time, as well. Regardless of the problem, it is always best to replace the rewind starter at the first signs of trouble. When it is not working correctly, it can be hard to start the engine. Depending on the severity of the problem, it may not be possible to start the engine at all. The genuine OEM replacement rewind starter is sold individually and can be used with lawn mowers and other types of small engines that use a pull starter. It is compatible with many models from Briggs & Stratton. Owners should always check to be sure they are choosing the correct starter for their machine before buying.
