Troy-Bilt String Trimmer Starter

This is a ratchet pawl assembly used in the recoil starter mechanism of a string trimmer. It engages the starter pulley to turn the engine over when the pull cord is yanked. Replace this part if the pull cord pulls freely without engaging the engine or if the trimmer fails to start due to a slipping or broken starter pawl.

This recoil starter assembly includes the pulley and associated components needed to manually start a small engine on a tiller or other outdoor power equipment. It engages the engine's crankshaft when the starter rope is pulled, allowing the engine to turn over and start. Replace this assembly if the pull cord won't retract, feels loose, or the engine won't turn over when the rope is pulled.

Rope won't retract after pulling? This recoil starter spring restores proper rope tension in lawn equipment engines. Essential starter assembly component.
