Dianne
for model number TB250 AND TB230
asked on 2022-04-09
Hello Dianne, Thank you for your inquiry. In order to verify the correct recoil starter assembly, we actually need the model number and type code of the engine, as the engine parts are listed separately from the parts for the lawn mower. If you could resubmit your question with the model number and type code of the engine (the type code should consist of up to 4 characters, sometimes with asterisks and be near the serial number) we would be able to provide you with the part number and repair assistance. We look forward to hearing from you.

Easiest way to repair was to replace the cord and recoil assemby as a unit. Only three nuts hold the recoil starter assembly in place. Your parts consultant gave me a choice of three different units with prices starting at $11 and going to $33. We discussed the differences and he was very helpful in selecting the lowest priced unit as it did not appear to be any different from the top priced unit. I chose the lowest priced unit and it works just fine. He saved me about $20. He also suggested that if for any reason the assembly was not compatible with my Honda engine, that the unit was fully returnable and could be exchanged.

For this particular fix, I decided to replace the entire "pull start setup," rather than just replacing the frayed rope. On the Toro Mower I own, this was a pretty easy fix.
