Kohler 1716502-S Engine Retractable Starter Assembly

The Kohler 1716502-S Engine Retractable Starter Assembly supports convenient engine starting on compatible equipment. This replacement starter uses a retractable rope mechanism that engages the engine when the handle is pulled, turning the engine over to begin operation. After release, the recoil mechanism retracts the rope for the next start. Proper starter function helps provide consistent engine starting and reduces interruptions during use. It is suitable for replacing a worn, damaged, or faulty starter assembly during maintenance or repair. Installing a correctly fitted replacement can help restore starting operation and support reliable engine performance.
