Description
Overview:
This rewind spring is a replacement starter component for Yanmar single‐cylinder diesel engines. Made from durable spring steel, it stores and releases energy to return the starter rope after each pull, helping the engine to start reliably and protecting the starter assembly from excess wear. It is intended for compact plant and garden machinery powered by Yanmar engines such as the L40AE and L40AE-S. The spring sits inside the starter housing and works with the pulley to keep the rope tidy and correctly tensioned. Supplied to the Yanmar specification with OEM reference 160260-76540 (also shown as 160260 76540), it is engineered for a precise fit and consistent performance in frequent-start applications on site or in the garden.
Key Features:
- Tempered spring steel construction for long service life under repeated winding cycles
- Built to the Yanmar specification for an accurate fit and dependable operation
- Restores correct rope return and starter tension for easier, more consistent starting
- Preformed spiral coil seats neatly in the starter housing to minimise snagging and noise
- Direct replacement using OEM reference 160260-76540 for straightforward part identification
- Helps cure symptoms such as slow rope return, no return, or uneven starter tension
- Compact component with no modification required when replacing a worn or broken spring
- Suitable for regular use in trade, hire, and domestic environments
Typical Applications:
Used when the starter rope fails to retract, returns sluggishly, or when the original spring has broken or lost tension. Common on small plant such as generators, water pumps, plate compactors, tillers, and garden machinery driven by compatible Yanmar engines. Ideal during routine servicing or a starter overhaul to restore reliable cold and warm starts.
