Description
Overview:
This pawl is a small, durable metal component for the recoil starter of Husqvarna chainsaws. It engages the flywheel when the starter cord is pulled, turning the engine over and enabling a reliable start. Built for regular use, it replaces worn or damaged pawls that can cause the starter to slip or fail to catch. Designed to fit professional saws such as the Husqvarna 394 XP and 395 XP EPA, it matches the original geometry for smooth operation within the starter assembly. Fitting a fresh pawl restores consistent engagement, protects the flywheel and starter cup from undue wear, and helps keep your saw ready for work. Manufacturer reference: 501537401.
Key Features:
- Durable metal construction for long service life under repeated engagement
- Precisely shaped to mesh cleanly with the flywheel for dependable starting
- Helps cure slipping or inconsistent catching in the recoil starter
- Designed to match original dimensions for a proper fit in Husqvarna starter systems
- Simple to install with standard hand tools, minimising downtime
- Suitable for professional and heavy-duty chainsaw applications
- Supports smoother pull-start action and reduces kickback on the cord
- Compatible with a wide range of models listed below for easy cross-fit
Typical Applications:
Replacement of a worn or broken starter pawl in Husqvarna chainsaws used for forestry, arborist work, landscaping, and site maintenance. Ideal when the pull start fails to catch, intermittently engages, or shows visible wear on the pawl or mating flywheel surfaces.
