Yard-Man String Trimmer Starter

A recoil pull-start assembly is the engine's starting mechanism. The machine operator pulls on the rope, which activates the pulley system to start the machine's engine. This part is a recoil pull-start assembly kit contains a rope, a pulley, and an innerspring, which are all of the components of the pull start assembly. A pull-start assembly kit may be needed if the recoil or pulley system has broken due to use over time. The rope may become broken or frayed and the plastic on the pulley could crack. While the rope itself is available separately, it's a good idea just to replace the entire pull start assembly kit while in the process of replacing any of the components to ensure even wear. This genuine OEM MTD part is sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold individually. It is used on blowers, vacuums, and trimmers that are manufactured by Craftsman, Bolens, MTD, and Troy-Bilt.

This is a genuine replacement pawl assembly for select MTD engines. This pawl assembly attaches to the crankshaft in the motor. It is responsible for rotating the shaft and flywheel as a reaction to the recoil starter rope being pulled. The part is subject to constant motion and can wear down over time or otherwise fail. If the pawl assembly goes bad, the shaft and flywheel will not be able to rotate and the engine will not run properly, if at all. A replacement part like this model will solve the problem for compatible units. This genuine OEM pawl is manufactured by MTD to exact standards to provide a fit for compatible machines from Troy-Bilt, MTD, Cub Cadet, and Yard Man, including blowers and trimmers. This pawl assembly includes the metal housing, two plastic pawls, and two springs, which makes it a complete part that requires no additional purchase. This unit is sold as an individual piece. Ensure the engine is cool prior to repair and wear gloves to ensure hand protection when working on the moving parts of the engine. Disconnect the spark plug to protect from accidental engine engagement, as well.

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.
