Frequently asked questions

What diameter starter rope do I need?

Smaller trimmers and chainsaws typically use 2.5mm to 3mm rope, while larger mower and ride on engines use thicker cord such as 4mm to 5mm. Check the diameter of your old rope before ordering.

How do I know if I need a full starter assembly or just a spring?

If the recoil mechanism won't retract or the cord keeps snapping at the pulley, the spring or pulley may be at fault. A full assembly is worth replacing if the housing is damaged or several parts have failed.

Will a starter assembly fit any engine of the same brand?

No, starter assemblies are specific to engine model and sometimes horsepower, so check the compatible models listed against your engine before buying.
