Description
Overview:
The Rope Rotor is the grooved pulley inside the recoil starter of Husqvarna petrol chainsaws such as the 254 and 257. This Genuine Husqvarna part is moulded from durable, impact‐resistant polymer (nylon) to withstand repeated pull starts and vibration. It holds the starter cord, works with the rewind spring and starter pawls, and turns the crankshaft during starting. Precision fit ensures smooth rotation and dependable engagement inside the starter housing, helping to prevent cord snagging and premature wear. It is a direct replacement for OEM No. 503 17 89 02 and restores correct starting function on compatible models. Supplied as the rotor/pulley only; starter rope, rewind spring, pawls and fixings are not included.
