Yard Machines Edger Starter

This is a genuine replacement recoil spring that is designed to be used with select lawn and garden equipment engines. The recoil spring is part of the starter pulley assembly. When the starter rope is engaged, the pulley will then engage the recoil spring, which retracts to cause the spinning that helps power the engine. This spring is subject to constant use and can become stretched or even snap over time and with regular use.This genuine OEM recoil spring is manufactured by MTD and designed to exact standards. It can be used in models from MTD, as well as those from RYOBI, Troy-Bilt, Yard Man, Yard Machines, and Bolens. The recoil spring is made of durable metal and sold as an individual part. The rest of the starter components will need to be purchased separately if they need replaced. Always wear gloves when performing engine repairs and be careful when working on the starter system because the springs and pulleys can be under a lot of pressure. Allow the engine to cool completely and disconnect the power before getting started.

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.
