Briggs & Stratton Starter Pawls - 281505S

Product Details & Features

Keep your Briggs & Stratton engine’s recoil starter functioning smoothly with this genuine Starter Pawl Kit – Part No. 281505S. These durable pawls are a key part of the starter engagement system, helping ensure your engine starts reliably every time.

When you pull the starter rope, the pawls extend outward to engage the flywheel ratchet and turn the engine over. Over time, pawls can wear or break, leading to poor starter engagement, slipping, or failures to start — symptoms that this replacement part helps resolve. 

Key Features:

• OEM-Quality Replacement: Manufactured to Briggs & Stratton specifications for a precise fit and long-lasting performance. 

• Ensures Starter Engagement: Pawls connect the recoil starter to the flywheel, enabling the engine to crank and start properly. 

• Durable Construction: Made from robust materials designed to withstand repeated use in the recoil starter assembly. 

• Easy to Replace: Simple to install during recoil starter servicing or rebuilds. 

• Direct OEM Fit: Replaces original parts 281505 and 557059 for compatible Briggs & Stratton engines. 

Why It Matters:
If your starter rope pulls freely without engaging the engine, or if your engine won’t start despite a good rope and spring, worn starter pawls could be the cause. Installing this genuine 281505S starter pawl set helps restore reliable starter engagement and keeps your outdoor power equipment running when you need it.
