Briggs & Stratton Recoil Starter Pulley & Spring - 498144

Product Details & Features

Ensure dependable starting performance from your Briggs & Stratton-powered equipment with this genuine Recoil Starter Pulley and Spring assembly (Part No. 498144). This essential component is part of the engine’s manual starting system and plays a key role in the smooth and reliable operation of your mower, generator, pressure washer or other garden machinery. 

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Quality: Designed and manufactured to Briggs & Stratton’s original specifications for perfect fit and long-lasting durability. 

• Complete Starter Assembly: Includes both the pulley and high-tension recoil spring required for proper rewind function, making it ideal for replacement or repair. 

• Essential for Manual Start: The pulley works with the starter rope to engage the flywheel and turn the engine over, while the spring rewinds the rope after each pull. 

• Robust Construction: Made from quality materials capable of withstanding the demands of repeated use and engine vibration. 

• Wide Compatibility: Fits many Briggs & Stratton Quantum, Intek and other small engines where part number 498144 is specified (confirm compatibility with your model). 

Why It Matters
If your recoil starter has stopped retracting properly, the spring has weakened, or the pulley has worn, your engine may be hard to start or won’t start at all. Replacing the pulley and spring with this genuine assembly restores smooth rope rewind and helps keep your engine starting reliably.
