Starter-Recoil 49088-2556

The Recoil Assembly, also known as the recoil starter, is used to engage the flywheel when the rope is pulled, in order to turn the engine over so that it wil start. If broken, it may not engage the flywheel (which will be noticeable when you pull the rope. The rope may even break). If broken, the part must be replaced. Installation is rated as "Easy" and requires a wrench, socket set, and screwdriver. It attaches on top of the engine where the flywheel is. The assembly is black in color. Refer to your make, model and diagrams to ensure this is the correct part.
