Makita 131-160-100 Recoil Starter Assembly

Product Description

The MAKITA 131-160-100 is a recoil starter assembly designed to initiate combustion engine startup on compatible Makita power equipment. The recoil starter houses the pull cord, rewind spring, and starter pulley in a single integrated unit. When the operator pulls the cord, the assembly engages the engine flywheel to turn the crankshaft and start the engine. Once the engine fires, the mechanism recoils the cord automatically. This part is a direct OEM-style replacement intended for licensed service technicians and experienced equipment repair professionals working on Makita outdoor power equipment.

This recoil starter assembly is used in lawn and garden power equipment applications. Typical installation scenarios include field service repairs and shop-level engine rebuilds where the original starter assembly has failed due to a broken rewind spring, worn pawls, or a frayed pull cord. The assembly replaces the entire starter housing as a complete unit rather than requiring individual component replacement.

Key Features

• Complete recoil starter assembly — cord, pulley, and rewind spring integrated into one serviceable unit
• OEM Makita part for accurate fit and function on compatible equipment
• Replaces worn or damaged starter assemblies without requiring individual component sourcing
• Designed for efficient field or shop installation by qualified service technicians

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM replacement recoil starter assembly for compatible Makita lawn and garden power equipment engines. Consult the Makita parts diagram for your specific model to confirm fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified small-engine technician or authorized Makita service professional. Before beginning work, disconnect the spark plug wire to eliminate any risk of accidental engine startup. Remove the existing starter assembly carefully to avoid damaging the engine shroud or mounting bosses, and transfer any reusable hardware as needed before securing the replacement unit.
