Abstract
A recoil starter capable of starting an engine easily has a reduced number of components and a simple structure, and enables miniaturization and a cost reduction. A damper spring having one end thereof fixed to a reel and provided at the other end thereof with an operation section is arranged in such a manner that the operation section thereof is engageable with a centrifugal ratchet provided on a rotating member of the engine, so that a shock caused by the engine is absorbed by the damper spring and a rotating force from the reel is stored therein.
