Briggs & Stratton 697671 Engine Rewind Starter

The Briggs & Stratton 697671 Engine Rewind Starter is a manual starting assembly that features a starter rope to pull the starter to start the engine. It works by means of a spring, recoil, and internal pulley system, which turns the crankshaft when pulled and releases the rope back to its position when it is let go. This end is attached to the engine casing and must make mechanical contact for manual engine start if the vehicle doesn't have an electric ignition. The consistent starting performance, stable rope retraction, and smooth engagement on repeated starting cycles are achieved through proper operation.
