A recoil starter system. The system may include a drive member engageable with an engine, the drive member including a plate having a first spring support having a first outer surface with a first outer diameter, a pulley member rotatably coupled to the drive member and including a second spring support, the second spring support having a second outer surface with a second outer diameter, and a spring member coupled between the drive member and the pulley member, the first spring support and the second spring support cooperating to provide a radially-inner support for the spring member. The system may include a rotation limiting arrangement provided between the drive member and the pulley member, the rotation limiting arrangement including a pair of travel stops, and a rotation limiting member. The system may include a rope retention recess for receiving an end of the pull rope and a rope retention bar.

Recoil starter system

A recoil starter system and method. The system may include a drive member, a pulley member, and a spring member. The drive member may include a first retainer, and the pulley member may include a second retainer, the retainers being engageable to connect the drive member and the pulley member and to inhibit relative axial movement between the pulley member and the drive member. The spring member may be configured to absorb and limit the variations in the pulling torque produced by the engine resulting in a smooth and constant pull force.

A cylinder-crankcase is disclosed that includes a cylinder block having a cylinder head for receiving a spark plug. The cylinder-crankcase also includes a crankcase and a crank arm for supporting a crankshaft. The cylinder block, cylinder head, crankcase and crank arm are a single, monolithic piece.
