Heavy-duty replacement recoil starter assembly for small engines and portable generators compatible with Champion/Predator-style models.

This YAMAKATO pull start replaces worn or broken recoil starters on many 160–224cc engines used in portable generators, pressure washers, water pumps and other light equipment. Built with an iron pawl, hexagonal black housing and a nylon 66 rope, it’s designed to match the 47mm pulley height and specific bolt patterns found on popular clones and aftermarket units.
