Parts for Echo 99944200004: Starter Assembly Parts

Starter rope won't retract after pulling? This recoil spring restores proper tension to your hedge trimmer's recoil starter mechanism. Simple repair.

This is a genuine pawl spring, also sometimes called a return spring, which can be found on select models of small power equipment engines. This part is designed as part of the recoil starter system. When the starter is engaged, the return spring is responsible for returning the starter pawl back to its original position once the engine is started. If the spring starts to wear or fail and cannot return the pawl, the engine will not operate properly and could have trouble starting in the future. It is always a good idea to inspect all starter housing components and replace them with genuine parts like this pawl spring when they are faulty. The OEM pawl spring is manufactured by Echo and made to exact standards to fit more than 150 compatible machines from the brand, as well as select models from Little Wonder and Shindaiwa. It can be used with edgers, trimmers, hedge trimmers, blowers, and paint sprayers. The pawl spring is made of durable metal and is sold as a single unit with no additional hardware or parts. Always allow the engine to cool completely and disengage the spark plug before working on the starter assembly, including replacing this spring.
