This is a starter housing assembly that will work with gas-powered string trimmers or weed whackers. It is used to crank the engine and start the unit in operation. It uses a traditional rope pull to start, which is incorporated into this OEM part.
This assembly includes the outer plastic shroud or housing cover, a starter pully with durable starter spring and grip, and the pull rope. This will require a moderate level of experience to install because it requires removal of the original unit and then a full installation of the new system. The tools needed include the appropriate hardware, a screwdriver, and pliers.
This genuine OEM unit is compatible with MTD, Troy Bilt, Cub Cadet, and other makes of trimmer. This item ships individually (as the full kit) and will work exclusively on gas-powered string trimmers.
