Additional Information
The MTD Recoil Starter Housing Assembly (part number 753-06096) includes the pull rope and recoil mechanism to help you start the engine smoothly. It replaces the full starter housing for line trimmers with worn or broken components.
If the starter rope does not retract, breaks, or the engine is difficult to start, the recoil starter housing may be damaged. Replacing the assembly can restore proper starting function and reduce downtime.
Before installing the recoil starter housing, turn off the trimmer and disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Allow the engine to cool completely. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Use a screwdriver and pliers to remove the old housing and install the new one securely. Refer to the service manual for your model or consult a technician if you need help with installation.
