blower housing on the customers log splitter broke.
blower housing on my brothers log splitter broke at the anchor points and caused the pull start to break and come apart. I was able to buy the parts and fix the log splitter for half the price of a new motor, saving him about $300.00.

starter rewind cord broke
I found the model number of the Briggs & Stratton engine on the inside of the engine housing. Ordered a new starter-rewind unit, as the old cord broke and the thing was well worn. The instructions were clear enough, but to get the old starter off I had to drill out four rivets, which just spin around when you try. I used a hacksaw, chisel, pliers, whatever worked on each rivet; this took a while. When they were finally removed, the new starter pull unit was relatively easy to install with the small nuts and bolts provided. On the Yard Machines log splitter, putting back the engine housing is quite tricky; you have to jostle the thing into place, get the pull handle above the cover and line up the bolt holes.

Difficulty pulling the starter rope or a cord that stays extended can result from a damaged recoil pulley. This wheel guides and stores the rope while helping turn the engine during starting. Similar symptoms can come from a frayed rope, seized engine, bent starter housing, broken pawls, or weak return spring, so check those items first. Match the replacement to the full engine model, type, code, and equipment model. Work on a cool engine with the spark plug lead removed. Release spring tension slowly and keep your face and hands clear of the starter housing. Route the rope correctly, confirm smooth return, and reinstall every guard before starting the engine.

Hard starting may come from the recoil system instead of the carburetor or spark plug. If the rope pulls but the engine does not turn, the starter clutch may be worn, dirty, or jammed. The clutch turns the crankshaft during starting and lets go when the engine runs. First inspect the rope, rewind spring, pulley, flywheel screen, and clutch bearing. Confirm fit with the complete engine number. Remove the spark plug wire, wait for hot parts to cool, and keep dirt out of the bearing area. Test free movement before putting the shroud back on.

A starter solenoid, also known as a starter relay, is an electrical component that is used within small engine systems to control the starter motor by engaging it when an ignition key is turned - acting as a bridge between the battery and starter motor. This starter solenoid is designed for use with various models of lawn mower and other small engine equipment and is sold as an individual part with no securing hardware. Depending on your model and type of equipment, the location of the starter solenoid may be different, but it is typically located on or around the engine block, and close to the battery. If you notice issues with starting your equipment such as clicking sounds, intermittent starting or simply not starting at all, the solenoid may be burnt or damaged and need replacement immediately. You can test the solenoid for continuity on its terminals with a multimeter, but make sure to take safety precautions. To replace a starter solenoid, you need only disconnect the equipment from power, locate the solenoid, disconnect and remove any connections and securing bolts before you can replace it and test for full functionality.
