Additional information

This starter rope grommet washer, part number 729667, works with the grommet to help hold it in place and keep the starter rope properly aligned as it passes through the housing. Proper support helps reduce friction and uneven wear on the rope.

If the starter rope rubs against the housing, pulls at an angle, or the grommet does not stay seated, the washer may be bent, worn, or missing. Misalignment at the rope opening can also cause premature rope damage.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Install the washer evenly with the grommet so both sit flush in the housing opening and allow the starter rope to move freely.
