What are the key technical specifications I should know?

This replacement unit runs on a 12V system, rotates counterclockwise (CCW) and uses a 10-tooth pinion to engage the flywheel. It arrives new from the manufacturer and is produced in China. The physical dimensions and mounting configuration match the common OEM-style starters for the listed engines.

• Voltage: 12V for standard small-engine battery systems
• Rotation: CCW (counterclockwise)

• Condition and origin: New unit manufactured in CN

How do I verify this starter will replace my old unit?

Compare the replacement numbers stamped on your current starter with the cross-reference list and check mounting bolt spacing, electrical terminals and pinion tooth count. Visual comparison of the starter face and solenoid position is a quick way to confirm compatibility. If your existing starter lists any of the included part numbers, this unit should be a direct swap.

• Match printed or stamped part numbers (e.g., 4280006600, 211637023)
• Verify mounting bolt pattern and starter flange shape
• Confirm electrical connection type and solenoid placement
• Check pinion tooth count (10 teeth) and rotation (CCW)

What should I expect during installation and performance?

Installation follows standard starter replacement steps: disconnect the battery, remove electrical connections, unbolt the old starter and install this unit in reverse order. The starter is intended to deliver reliable cranking for normal lawn and utility equipment use, provided the engine and battery are in good condition. No special modifications are required for directly compatible models.

• Basic tools required: wrenches, ratchet set and battery safety gear
• Typical install time: 30–60 minutes depending on machine accessibility
• Ensure battery is fully charged for reliable cranking
• Recheck electrical connections and mounting bolts after first runs
