This 3-hole pull recoil starter was a solid replacement for my 152F generator/lawn mower engine. The mounting holes lined up correctly, and installation was fairly simple using the existing hardware. The pull cord operates smoothly and retracts consistently without sticking.
The build quality feels decent for a replacement part. It doesn��t feel quite as heavy-duty as the original OEM recoil, but it functions reliably once installed. I did need to make a small alignment adjustment to ensure it sat flush against the housing.
Overall, it restored easy starting and performs as expected. Not perfect, but a dependable and affordable replacement option, earning a strong four stars.
Good quality replacement. Works well.
