This Stens recoil starter assembly can enhance smooth start-ups on the internal combustion engine of your outdoor power equipment. Components of the recoil starter assembly include a rope with a grip, reel and spring. When the rope is pulled, it uncoils and provides tension to the spring to engage the clutch and start the engine. The recoil function of this starter assembly gently pulls the rope back into the reel so that the rope is not limp. Stens recoil starter assemblies come with a long-wearing durable rope that resists stretching and breakage. The rope is also made from materials that reduce friction to allow for a smooth pull and easy-going retraction back into the reel. The spring provides optimal tension for recoil and clutch engagement. Stens has designed and tested its starter assemblies to make sure all components work seamlessly together for quick and efficient starts.
