Additional information

This engine starter cup mounts to the flywheel and provides a contact point for the starter pawls or starter mechanism. Part number 951-11314 allows the starter system to engage the flywheel so the engine can turn over during starting.

If the starter cup cracks, wears down, or loosens, the starter may slip or fail to engage the flywheel. Common signs include the starter spinning without turning the engine, grinding noises, or difficulty starting the equipment.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental engine startup. Handle the starter cup carefully during installation and make sure it seats properly on the flywheel before tightening fasteners.
