Honda mower recoil starter
Part was new , installed and works perfect . 1st order resulted in the wrong part: serial number and other info were not what was needed. Unusual naming for part number by manufactor , Honda.

1. Removed old handle(with sockets and an adjustable wrench where needed) and cables and replaced them on the new handle after bolting it in, very easy.
2. Removed the three bolts holding the recoil starter in, removed the old and bolted the new one right in. Very easy repair and the parts fit very well.
3. While I was at it, I ran the tiller for a bit and changed the oil. It's running and handling like new and it's 9 years old.
