The Kohler 1416525-S Engine Retractable Starter Assembly helps provide dependable manual engine starting with smooth pull-cord operation. It uses a retractable rope mechanism that engages the engine when the starter handle is pulled, then rewinds the rope after use. This replacement assembly can help restore starting function when the original starter becomes worn, damaged, or fails to retract properly. A properly working starter supports easier engine starting and consistent operation while reducing inconvenience during routine use. Its practical design makes it suitable for replacing a faulty or worn starting assembly and maintaining reliable engine performance.
