Manufactured from durable plastic, this replacement part is engineered to match the original specifications for a precise fit and dependable performance.

Lawn mower rope broke and coil spring loop had become undone and twisted.
Remove the engine shroud and then remove three bolts holding the gas down. Loosen another bolt left rear & down of the gas tank and you can tilt the gas tank back w/o removing it completely. Then remove another bolt holding the oil fill tube, pull up slightly and turn to the side so that it clears the engine cover. Remove 4 bolts holding
... Read morethe engine cover/pulley spring assembly and lift it up slowly(make sure you recall how it is mounted over some engine flanges). Remove a bolt holding down the Pawl friction plate over the pulley spring assembly and lift up on the assembly carefully as it contains the recoil starter spring. I then discovered that my new pulley spring assembly had the anchoring loop (the one that anchors on the center tab of the engine cover) looping to the right. My original spring looped to the left. I then had to use two needle nose pliers to carefully grab the spring loop and bend it around to the left making a new anchoring loop. This was very time consuming as you have to be careful of the spring not uncoiling. Once you done the new loop, bent the spring loop towards the center of the coiled spring so that it can catch on the center tab of the engine cover. Once you insert the pulley spring assembly, turn it counter clockwise until tight and then turn it back one turn to release some tension. You have to stick a small screwdriver in-between the pulley assembly and one of the slots in the engine cover to keep the spring from uncoiling. You them align the rope hole in the pulley with the rope hole in the engine cover and insert the new rope, grab it with needle nose and pull it, giving you some slack to tie the knot. You can now release the rope slowly (make sure you have the pull rope handle attached to the other end of rope) until the rope winds completely. You now attach cover back onto engine, making sure it fits correcting onto its location. You can now reattach all other parts in reverse of how you took them off. If you have a digital camera or phone, take pictures before or as you unassemble the engine, so you can remember what goes where.

Pawls where worn out had to replace them and other parts
Replaced four blower housing screws. The air cleaner cover just snaps in place. I then remove the complete starter assembly by removing the screws holding it. I turned it upside down and removed the screw for the pawl friction plate, then the plate and the worn pawl ratchets and replaced them with the new pawl ratchets. Installed the new
... Read morefriction plate and new friction plate screw. Installed the complete starter assembly. Done.
Removed engine cover, gas tank and pull starter assembly.
Disassembled pull starter assembly.
Installed new parts in starter assembly and rewound starter rope.
Reinstalled pull starter assembly, gas tank and engine cover.
Pretty easy and straightforward to fix, especially if you took the old one apart. Mine had all the parts missing. I wish they were metal or tougher parts. They wear out break to easily in my opinion. The rewind spring was the hardest part to get right. There are good YouTube videos that show how though.
You can do it! Lol
1) Removed recoil starter cover.
2) Removed broken pawls, friction plate and pulley.
3) Installed new pulley, note: be very careful indexing the spring tip into the housing.
4) Installed new pawls ad friction plate. 5) Mounted assembly back onto engine
