Description
Overview:
This is a genuine Kohler starter rope for recoil-start Kohler engines, supplied to OEM specification under part number 12 160 01-S. The rope is a durable braided synthetic cord designed to transmit a strong, smooth pull from the starter handle to the engine's recoil mechanism. It helps deliver dependable starting performance and resists fraying and abrasion in regular use. Suitable for a wide range of Kohler machines used in garden and construction settings, it is commonly fitted to engines such as the CH11 and CH410. The rope supports consistent operation, helping keep equipment ready for work with minimal downtime, and is intended as a direct replacement for worn or damaged original starter cord on applicable Kohler engines.
