Recoil starter assembly 597279 lets you start your engine by pulling the rope, which spins the crankshaft to begin combustion. It replaces a damaged or broken starter to restore engine-starting performance.

To install, disconnect the spark plug wire and remove the fasteners holding the old recoil assembly in place. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Align the new assembly and secure it with the original hardware.
