YAMAKATO Recoil Pull Starter for 79–100cc Engines — Black with Extra Rope & Iron Pawl

YAMAKATO's replacement pull start is a complete recoil assembly designed to fit many 79cc–100cc small engines and generators, providing a durable, ready-to-install option when your original starter fails.

This recoil pull starter assembly is built as a direct-replacement-style unit for a wide range of 79cc, 80cc, 98cc, 99cc and 100cc engines used on portable generators, pressure washers, edgers, and mini-bikes. It arrives brand-new with an extra pull rope, soft rubber handle, nylon wheels and iron pawl, and is manufactured to match the common bolt patterns and housing sizes found on popular Predator, Coleman and clone engines. Because clone engines vary, verify your starter's pawl type, bolt-center measurements and housing diameter before ordering to ensure a correct fit.

Will this starter fit my engine model?

Check your engine before purchasing — many small engine clones share similar dimensions, but details differ. Confirm the pawl shape, bolt-center triangle pattern and housing diameters to match this unit.

• Fits many 79–100cc generators, edgers and mini-engines.
• Compatible with Coleman CC100X, CT100u, CK100, SK100 and similar clones.
• Matches bolt center measurements: 130mm triangle pattern and 151mm across through the starter center.
• Rachet and housing diameters: 53mm and 74mm respectively.

What are the key components and build quality?

This assembly pairs a metal (iron) pawl with nylon wheels and a molded plastic housing for a balance of strength and smooth operation. It includes a soft rubber grip and an extra cord so you can finish the repair without hunting parts.

• Iron plate pawl for reliable engagement with the flywheel.
• Nylon wheels to reduce friction and wear on the cord path.
• Comes with an additional pull rope and a comfortable rubber handle.
• Black finish on the recoil housing for corrosion resistance and a neat look.

How easy is installation and what measurements matter?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with small-engine maintenance, but accurate measurement is crucial since clone engines use slightly different patterns. Remove your old starter and compare the mounting hole positions and ratchet sizes before fitting this unit.

• Compare center-to-center bolt spacing: 130mm (triangle) and 151mm (through-center).
• Confirm rachet/housing diameters of 53mm and 74mm match your old starter.
• Designed to replace starters on many Powermate, Champion, Pulsar and similar models.
• Includes an extra rope so installation can be completed immediately.

Which machines commonly use this replacement starter?

This recoil assembly suits a wide variety of small engine equipment from different brands and clone manufacturers. It's often used in portable generators, edgers, mini-bikes and compact equipment that employ 79–100cc engines.

• Portable generators: small 1–2.5 kW units and similar models.
• Edgers and small gas-powered landscaping tools (80cc class).
• Mini-bikes, go-karts and small recreational engines in the 79–99cc range.
