This is a genuine OEM sourced replacement part. It is designed for use with lawn and garden engines. It is an important part of the starter assembly that is used to crank start the unit. Please note shroud/housing, starter pulley, starter spring, grip, the pull rope and the hardware are all sold separately. This pawl plate is made out of plastic and it is sold individually. To complete this repair you would need a wrench.
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.
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.
The job is pretty simple, if you donGÇÖt pop the spring off. Even so itGÇÖs not to hard to rewind the spring if you just turn it upside down and rewind the spring back into its housing. The one problem I had was that I had a housing screw that had striped out and when you pulled on the rope it would not rewind. Once I figured out that the
