Additional Information
The Briggs & Stratton recoil starter pawl (part number 281505S) engages the flywheel to start your lawn and garden equipment engine when you pull the starter rope. Made from durable nylon, this part withstands repeated use and delivers consistent performance.
This part replaces 281505, 692260, and BS-281505S. Replace the pawl if the starter rope doesn t engage the engine or fails to recoil properly. A new pawl restores reliable starting and prevents strain on other starter components.
Before installation, disconnect the spark plug wire to avoid accidental starting. Wear work gloves and use the correct tools to remove the old pawl and secure the new one in place. Always confirm compatibility with your model for a proper fit and smooth repair.
