Description
Overview:
The Oregon 5.0mm Nylon Economy Pull Starter Recoil Rope is a durable replacement cord for small-engine recoil starters on outdoor power equipment. Made from tough braided nylon, it delivers a smooth, dependable pull to start engines while resisting abrasion and everyday wear. Supplied on a 100 m roll (approx 328 ft), it is ideal for workshop stock and routine maintenance across multiple machines. At 5.0 mm diameter (approx 0.197 in, close to 3/16 in), it suits many lawnmowers, chainsaws, generators, brushcutters, and similar tools that use a manual pull start. The rope cuts cleanly to length and is easy to knot and heat-seal at the ends. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 803 253.
