Stens recoil starter assemblies can enhance smooth start-ups on the internal combustion engine of your outdoor power equipment. Components of the 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 gently pulls the rope back into the reel so that the rope is not limp.
