Tecumseh 35287c Cup Starter

Product Description

The TECUMSEH 35287c is a cup starter designed for small engine applications. The cup starter connects the recoil starter assembly to the engine flywheel, transferring pull-cord energy into rotational force to crank the engine. It is a direct-fit mechanical component that wears over time through repeated starts and typically requires replacement when the cup cracks, chips, or no longer engages the flywheel dogs cleanly. This part falls under the Tecumseh line of lawn and garden engine components and is installed by small engine technicians and experienced equipment service pros.

The 35287c is used in lawn and garden power equipment powered by Tecumseh small engines. Common applications include walk-behind lawn mowers, snow blowers, tillers, and similar outdoor power equipment that uses a recoil pull-start system. It is a replacement part suited for equipment showing signs of hard starting or failed engagement due to a damaged or worn cup starter.

• OEM Tecumseh replacement cup starter for recoil pull-start assemblies
• Engineered to fit the flywheel engagement system on compatible Tecumseh small engines

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a small engine technician. Before servicing, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental engine start.
