Description
Overview:
The Oregon 5.5 mm Heavy Duty Starter Rope is a strong, braided nylon cord designed to restore smooth, reliable pull-start performance on small engines. Supplied in a 5 metre length (approximately 16.4 ft), it can be cut to suit a wide range of equipment. The 5.5 mm diameter offers a good balance of flexibility and tensile strength for medium to larger recoil starters found on lawn mowers, generators, pressure washers, plate compactors, scarifiers, tillers, and water pumps. The durable nylon braid resists abrasion from starter pulleys and guides, helping reduce fraying and premature wear. Its consistent round profile feeds cleanly through eyelets and starter handles, making it a practical choice for routine maintenance or a straightforward replacement of a worn or snapped rope.
Key Features:
- Heavy-duty braided nylon construction for strength and long service life
- Diameter: 5.5 mm (approx. 7/32 in) for dependable grip and pull force
- Length: 5 m (approx. 16.4 ft), easy to cut for multiple repairs or different machines
- Smooth, round braid runs cleanly over pulleys to minimise snagging and abrasion
- Suitable for many pull-start small engines on garden and construction equipment
- Flexible yet tough cord aids fast recoil and consistent starting performance
- Light-coloured braid helps spot wear and damage during inspection
- Simple to fit with standard starter knots and handles; no special tools required
- Oregon quality for reliable performance in frequent-use applications
Typical Applications:
Replacing damaged, frayed, or snapped recoil starter ropes on petrol lawn mowers, portable generators, pressure washers, tillers, scarifiers, plate compactors, water pumps, and other pull-start machinery. Ideal for workshop maintenance, on-site repairs, and as a spare length kept in a service kit for quick, reliable engine restarts.
