I have a brand new Fairbanks Morse pull starter. This will fit Some Tecumseh's, Kohlers, and West Bend engines. This is in a Kohler box, but FB made these for Kohler. Labeled FB on inside. This is NOS and has some shelf wear. Cheaper on OldMiniBikes than eBay at $110.00 shipped. PM me if interested

That's the nice early one with the "smooth" casting. Later ones had a raised center that was ugly. They're reversible too. That's the one the kart guys fight over.

@KKK.
Got a picture of one of the later "ugly ones" I think I have a NOS one.


Never understood the reasoning behind the raised center...I never saw one break or wear out in that area. Almost like they did it just to have a place to put a decal or something.

Maybe not really "ugly"....but not as pretty as this:



On a side note I once took one of those and used a file to very carefully smooth down the raised section, polished it up and you couldn't tell it from a vintage smooth casting..
