Tecumseh 590739 Lawn Mower Recoil Starter Assembly

The Tecumseh 590739 Recoil Starter Assembly combines the starter frame, pulley, rope, spring, and engagement components into a complete manual starting unit for lawn mower engines. It is attached to the engine shroud, it transfers pulling force from the handle through the pulley system to rotate the flywheel during startup. The internal spring retracts the rope automatically after each starting attempt, returning the mechanism to its ready position. The assembly works with the flywheel, starter pawls, rope guide, and mounting fasteners to provide the manual cranking function used to initiate engine operation.
