Looking for a recoil starter, spark plug or starting part for a Scheppach or Woodster brush cutter? In this category, you will find a selection of spare parts for the starting and ignition systems of petrol brush cutters and Scheppach and Woodster 4-in-1 multifunction garden tools.

The recoil starter allows the engine to be turned over manually in order to start it, while the spark plug produces the spark required to ignite the air-fuel mixture. These two components are therefore essential for the operation of a petrol engine.

This category includes complete recoil starters, starter assemblies, spark plugs and related parts for various Scheppach and Woodster models, as well as selected Parkside machines manufactured by Scheppach.

Recoil starters for Scheppach and Woodster brush cutters

The recoil starter, also known as a pull starter or recoil pull starter, turns the engine when the user pulls the starter handle. The mechanism then engages with the engine to start it.

Over time, repeated use can cause various starter components to wear out. A faulty brush cutter recoil starter can cause several problems:

• the starter cord no longer retracts;
• the cord remains jammed;
• the starter spins without engaging;
• the mechanism no longer turns the engine;
• the handle or starter cord is broken;
• the starter jams when pulled;
• the internal mechanism is damaged.

In some cases, replacing the complete recoil starter is the simplest way to get the machine working again.

Recoil starters for 32.6 cc and 51.7 cc garden tools

This category includes various recoil starters for 31.7 cc, 32.6 cc and 51.7 cc Scheppach and Woodster brush cutters and garden tools.

You can find:

• recoil starter reference 5910706006 for selected Scheppach brush cutters manufactured from 2018 onwards;
• recoil starter reference 3904701047 for various Scheppach and Woodster 4-in-1 garden tools and brush cutters;
• a replacement recoil starter for 32.6 cc and 51.7 cc 4-in-1 garden tools and brush cutters, replacing former reference 3904701047;
• various other starters depending on the machine model and manufacturing period.

Please note that engine capacity alone is not always enough to identify the correct recoil starter. Different starting systems may have been used depending on the model and year of manufacture.

Recoil starter for Scheppach brush cutters manufactured from 2018 onwards

This category includes recoil starter reference 5910706006, designed for selected Scheppach brush cutters manufactured from 2018 onwards.

The manufacturing date is particularly important when choosing a recoil starter. The same brush cutter model may have been fitted with different starting systems during its production period.

Before ordering, always check:

• the exact machine model;
• the manufacturing date;
• the reference number of the original starter;
• the shape of the starter housing;
• the position of the mounting points.

Recoil starters for 4-in-1 garden tools

Multifunction garden tools use a single engine to power several attachments, such as a brush cutter, grass trimmer, hedge trimmer or pole pruner, depending on the machine configuration.

This category includes recoil starters for Scheppach and Woodster 4-in-1 garden tools, allowing you to replace a worn, broken or jammed starting mechanism.

When replacing the starter, it is essential to check that it exactly matches the engine version. Two machines that look very similar may use different recoil starters.

Spark plugs for brush cutters and 4-in-1 garden tools

The spark plug produces the spark required to ignite the air-fuel mixture inside the engine.

A worn, fouled or faulty spark plug can cause various problems:

• difficult starting;
• engine fails to start;
• ignition misfires;
• irregular engine operation;
• loss of power;
• engine stalling;
• difficult restarting when the engine is hot.

This category includes the L8RTC / SW19 spark plug for various petrol garden tools.

When should a brush cutter spark plug be replaced?

The spark plug should be checked regularly, particularly when the machine becomes difficult to start or the engine runs irregularly.

When checking the spark plug, it is advisable to inspect:

• the condition of the electrodes;
• the presence of deposits;
• the condition of the insulator;
• the spark plug reference;
• the electrode gap according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

A heavily fouled, worn or damaged spark plug should be replaced with a compatible model.

Starter assemblies for Scheppach and Woodster brush cutters

This category also includes starter assemblies for Scheppach and Woodster brush cutters, petrol blowers, earth augers and 4-in-1 garden tools.

You can find:

• starter assembly reference 5910703004 for selected Scheppach and Woodster brush cutters and petrol blowers;
• starter assembly reference 3904701045, replacing former reference 3904803021, for various 4-in-1 garden tools, brush cutters, petrol blowers and earth augers.

These parts must be selected according to the exact machine model and original part reference.

Recoil starters and spark plugs for Parkside machines manufactured by Scheppach

Some parts in this category may also fit Parkside machines manufactured by Scheppach.

This is particularly the case for selected parts for the Parkside PBK4B3 manufactured by Scheppach only. Versions manufactured by another company, particularly Grizzly, may use different and incompatible components.

This category also includes a recoil starter for the Parkside MFH880 4-in-1 backpack brush cutter.

Before ordering a part for a Parkside machine, it is therefore essential to check the actual manufacturer of the machine.

Why does a recoil starter spin without engaging?

When a recoil starter spins freely without turning the engine, several causes are possible:

• worn engagement mechanism;
• damaged starter pawls;
• broken internal parts;
• the starter no longer engages correctly with the engine;
• worn or deformed drive components.

On the other hand, if the starter is extremely difficult to pull or jams completely, it is important not to force it. The problem may come from the recoil starter, but it may also be caused by the engine or another mechanical component.

Before replacing the part, it is therefore advisable to identify the exact cause of the problem.

How to choose the correct recoil starter or spark plug

Before ordering a recoil starter or spark plug for a brush cutter or 4-in-1 garden tool, we recommend checking:

• the exact machine model;
• the brand: Scheppach or Woodster;
• the engine capacity;
• the reference number of the original part;
• the shape and mounting points of the recoil starter;
• the reference of the original spark plug;
• the machine rating plate;
• the serial number;
• the month and year of manufacture, when this information is required.

Depending on the production period, the same machine may have been fitted with different engines or starting systems. Always check the list of compatible machines shown on each product page before ordering.
