The 40-3 pull starter is a complete starter set for sprayers, foggers and blowers, and it is a common fit with the 865 series such as EB865 and KS865. It has a black nylon starter housing, a square mounting flange with four bolt holes, a black T shaped pull handle, a pale nylon rope reel and a metal one-way clutch, with a pawl in the housing, ready to replace. The clutch grips the crankshaft to spin the engine over, and the return spring rewinds the rope by itself. Before fitting, remove the old starter and match the flange holes; if the rope runs out, a pull will not turn the engine, or the handle wobbles, change the whole set. The nylon reel is a wear item and goes with the set. EB965, 3WF-2.6 and 1E40F-3 are engines from the same family, so compare the old flange holes or send a photo to confirm.

 FAQ 

Q1: What is included in the 40-3 pull starter set?

The nylon housing with the four hole flange, the rope reel, the one-way clutch, the T shaped handle and the pawl, a complete starter assembly.

Q2: Which machines does it fit?

It is made for 40-3 and the 865 series, EB865 and KS865. EB965, 3WF-2.6 and 1E40F-3 are similar engines and not guaranteed to fit, so compare the old starter's flange holes or send a photo before ordering.

Q3: Do I need the whole set or just the rope?

If the pull does not turn the engine, or the rope runs out by itself, change the whole set. If only the rope is worn it can be replaced, but the clutch and the return spring are what usually fail first.
