FVRITO Pull Start Recoil Starter for 79–100cc OHV Engines — 165mm Housing, Complete Replacement Kit

The FVRITO Pull Start Recoil Starter is a complete replacement starter assembly designed to fit 79cc–100cc small OHV clone engines used on mini bikes, go-karts, generators and other light equipment.

This replacement recoil starter is engineered as a direct-fit option for many common clone engines, including Predator and Harbor Freight models, and works with machines such as Coleman CT100U, CC100X, MB100 mini bikes, and small generators and pumps. The unit includes a stamped metal housing, internal plastic spool, nylon pull cord, hardware and a wrench so you can swap the old starter in one service interval. Dimensions and hole spacing are provided to confirm compatibility before purchase.

Will this starter fit my engine model?

The starter is intended for a broad range of 79cc–100cc clone OHV engines used by brands like Predator, GPS, Champion and others. Fitment depends on housing diameter and bolt pattern rather than model name alone, so verify the measurements.

• Fits many Coleman CC100X, CT100U, CK100, SK100 and MB80/MB100 style engines.
• Compatible with Harbor Freight Predator part numbers and similar clones.
• Check: outer housing diameter 165mm, inner shell 120mm, bolt spacing 150mm and 130mm.

What comes in the box and what tools are needed?

The package arrives with the full pull-start assembly plus mounting hardware so you can replace the starter right away. A simple wrench is included, and common hand tools are sufficient for most installs.

• Included: 1 pull start unit, 6 bolts and 1 wrench.
• Only three of the six supplied bolts are typically required; extra bolts serve as spares.
• Recommend tools: screwdriver, socket set or box wrench and basic hand tools for removal and alignment.

How durable and easy to install is the FVRITO pull starter?

The assembly uses a metal housing, synthetic rubber handle, nylon cord and a plastic internal spool for balance between durability and smooth operation. Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable removing a few bolts and aligning the starter with the flywheel boss.

• Durable materials: stamped metal housing and nylon pull cord resist wear.
• Smooth rewind action from the internal plastic spool reduces binding.
• Simple swap: aligns to existing bolt pattern and includes spare fasteners.

What measurements should I confirm before buying?

Because many aftermarket starters share a similar appearance but differ in key details, measure your existing starter before ordering. Verify the housing diameter and the spacing between mounting holes to ensure a correct fit.

• Overall metal housing diameter: 165mm (6.49").
• Internal plastic shell diameter: 120mm (4.72").
• Mounting hole distances: 150mm (furthest) and 130mm (sub-distal); six holes total.

Who is this for? If you own a mini bike, go-kart, small generator, water pump, pressure washer or other light equipment powered by 79cc–100cc clone OHV engines and you need a reliable, ready-to-install replacement starter, the FVRITO Pull Start Recoil Starter is a cost-effective option. It’s aimed at DIY mechanics, small-engine repair shops and fleet owners who want a straightforward aftermarket swap with included hardware. Measure your old unit carefully, and contact the seller if you need help confirming fitment before purchase.
