Briggs & Stratton Starter Rope / Grip

High-Strength Fiber Cord: Heavy-duty, tightly braided nylon rope delivers exceptional tensile strength, preventing premature snapping and resisting outdoor weather wear.

Genuine OEM Reliability: As a factory-certified Briggs & Stratton part, it guarantees a seamless fit and exact tolerances required to protect your engine’s warranty and maximize operational lifespan

Ergonomic Rubber Grip: The comfortable, contoured handle ensures a non-slip grip and reduces hand fatigue during repeated cold-weather or high-resistance pulls.

Smooth Recoil Action: Engineered to wind evenly onto your engine's internal pulley system, eliminating cord jamming, binding, or dragging.

Broad Engine Compatibility: Fits a wide range of Briggs & Stratton small vertical and horizontal single-cylinder engines ranging from 4.5 to 8.75 gross torque (125cc to 223cc). Compatible with E450, EX550, EXi150, EXi725, PXi190, and PXi1000 OHV engine series, as well as classic engine models 0854, 09B9, 1154, 1214, 1288, 1297, 1298, 12F7, and 12F8 powering walk-behind mowers, edgers, rototillers, and small water pumps

Installation Tip: When replacing the cord, ensure the recoil spring is pre-tensioned according to your user manual before threading the new 5042K rope, and always knot the ends tightly to anchor the grip securely.
