Description
Overview:
This Starter Pulley Kit is a Genuine Briggs & Stratton part designed to restore smooth, reliable pull-start operation on small petrol lawn mower engines. Manufactured from a durable moulded polymer for low friction and long service life, the pulley guides the starter rope and engages the recoil mechanism to turn the engine over cleanly. It is engineered for a precise fit in the original recoil housing on popular Briggs & Stratton vertical-shaft engines, including Sprint Classic 350 and Quattro 40 ranges. Supplied to OEM standard under part number 499901, it helps cure common starting issues caused by a worn or cracked pulley, glazing, or rope mis-tracking. Suitable for many walk-behind mowers powered by these engines in domestic and light commercial use.
