This recoil starter replaces OEM part numbers 590739, 590702, 590637, 590646, 590621, 590737, 590785, 590472, 590686, 590694, 590732A, 590763, and 590787.
This assembly is designed for use on various walk-behind mowers and pressure washers from brands including Toro (such as models 20016, 20017, 20018, and 20019), Lawn-Boy, and Craftsman.
You likely need a replacement if the pull cord fails to retract, the rope has snapped, or the internal starter pawls are worn and no longer engage the engine cup to turn the crankshaft. If you feel excessive resistance or a complete lack of tension when pulling the handle, the internal spring or pawl mechanism has likely failed.
Installation is straightforward and typically takes 15–20 minutes. You will generally only need a socket set or a nut driver to remove the bolts securing the old housing to the engine shroud. Ensure the engine is cool and the spark plug wire is disconnected before beginning to prevent accidental starting.
When installing the new unit, ensure the starter pawls align correctly with the starter cup on the engine flywheel. Tighten the mounting bolts evenly to ensure the housing sits flush against the engine shroud. It is also a good time to inspect the starter cup for any debris or damage that might prevent the pawls from engaging properly.
