Perfect replacement for B&S 5 hp vertical engine
Perfect fit and works perfectly. Came nuts, bolts and washers to replace rivets. Easy install one you remove the engine cover.No directions…make sure that you put the bolts in from the inside of the engine cover and nuts on the outside. Otherwise bolts will make contact with the flywheel. See photo’s

Installation required a little adaptation
I needed to install some washers under the mounting legs of the starter, but then everything worked fine. So far so good.

Recoil
Product worked good I felt that the bolts that came with the recoil were very cheap quality so I opted to use rivets worked great 👍

Buy from some other company
I have had this for two months ... and the cord completely separated from the coil spring ... totally.The knot on the end of the cord was tied too small ... therefore letting the cord slip through the device leaving it NOT connected to the recoil spring.Then ... upon taking the unit off the lawnmower I find that the spring in the unit no longer has any "spring" ... gone completely. Don't know what the issue there is as I do not want to take this apart.I should have known this was going to be a joke as they sent nuts and bolts to fasten the unit to the lawnmower ... which is TOTALLY unbelievable as the original unit on the lawnmower was fastened with pop rivets .... the nuts and bolts would NEVER last ... NEVER ... as the lawnmower is one constant VIBRATING MACHINE ... and the nuts would have eventually worked loose.Only if I was to tapweld the nuts to the screws or guy wire the nuts like they do on aircraft would they ever have a chance of lasting.I understand not everyone has a pop rivet gun but that is the ONLY way to secure this unit down.This was designed, manufactured and sold as a TOTAL joke.The original unit that came with the lawnmower lasted 14 years ... this Amazon unit ... two months ... two months.When I tried to get a hold of the manufacturer the Amazon screen told me to contact Amazon ... then when I spoke to Amazon customer service they told me to contact the manufacturer ... the ENDLESS LOOP ...After explaining the issue I was finally able to get a credit ... yes the issue was solved but should never had occurred ... in reading past reviews others have suffered the same issue with the cord.Lets face it ... Quality Control is out of ControlBe careful of these units made overseas ... sometimes they work and sometimes they don't ...

Worked
Mounting it was very easy. Screws , lock washers and nuts are better than rivets but the first pull the rope frayed. Poor quality in the rope. Needs to be made out of a better material
