Description
Overview:
The Starter Assembly fits Husqvarna 445E and 450E chainsaws and is a complete recoil starting unit designed to restore reliable, consistent engine ignition. The housing is made from durable, impact‐resistant polymer in Husqvarna orange, with a steel recoil spring, starter pulley, and a tough nylon pull cord and handle. As a Genuine Husqvarna part (OEM No. 544 15 85 02, MPN 544158502), it matches the original dimensions and mounting points for a straightforward, precise replacement. The assembly transmits your pull force to the crankshaft via the recoil mechanism to spin the engine for cold and warm starts. Ideal for petrol chainsaws in this range, it is used during routine servicing or when the original starter is cracked, the spring is broken, the rope is frayed, or the rewind action is weak.
