Description
Complete replacement Recoil and Cowling Kit
The original Recoil Assembly for this generator is no longer manufactured... However, we have found an alternative Recoil that can be fitted if it is used with it's matching Cowling. This kit will comprise of a new Recoil Assembly with its Connector Cup, the Cowling and all the bolts you will need to fit the new kit.
The Cowling and Recoil Assembly are both made of tough steel for a long life. Extra strong return spring, easy-grip handle and extra long rope for easy starting.
Generator Guru says:
If the recoil wheel has broken on the original, then it is advisable to check the oil level and valve settings.
As an engine settles in, the valve clearances can change. When the valve settings are off, it creates a higher compression which makes the engine harder to start and adds extra pressure to the Recoil parts.
Valve settings can be found in our 'Cylinder Head Parts' listings, (if available for your generator,) along with a video to show you how to do the job! If there is too much oil in the engine it will also change the compression ratio. Remove any excess oil.
If you oil the rope with petroleum jelly it will stop the rope from fraying.
