Murray Recoil Starters
Check your Murray model number or the original part number first to match the correct recoil starter, as fittings and pulley details can vary between engines. At Garden Tractor Spares, you can find genuine and OEM Murray recoil starters, with options for complete pull-start units as well as individual cords. If the cord has broken, replacing that part alone can be a straightforward repair, while a full assembly saves dealing with spring rewinding.

Frequently Asked Questions
My pull cord snapped, what do I need?
If the rest of the recoil starter is still working properly, a replacement cord is usually the simplest fix. It is a low-cost repair when the assembly and spring are otherwise sound.
Is a full recoil starter worth buying?
A complete recoil starter is a good option if you want to avoid the awkward job of rewinding the spring. It also makes sense when more than one part of the pull-start has worn rather than changing pieces one by one.
How do I choose the right starter part?
Match the recoil starter part to the exact engine model fitted to your machine. That is the best way to choose the correct pull-start assembly, cord or spring when ordering online.
