rope 3 mm

This 3mm recoil starter rope is supplied on a 100-metre spool, so you can cut the length you need and keep a usable stock of replacement cord on hand. It is intended for recoil starter assemblies on many petrol brush cutters, strimmers, chainsaws and many small two-stroke engines.

What this rope is for

The rope is the pull cord that winds onto the recoil starter pulley and takes the load each time you pull the handle to turn the engine over. Because it is a wear part, having a full spool means a worn or broken cord does not have to stop you from getting equipment running again.

Diameter and fit

The saved product information identifies this item as 3mm rope, and the spool label lists 3.00mm among its printed diameter options. The same label also shows 3.50mm, 4.00mm, 4.50mm, 5.00mm and 6.00mm, so the label appears to cover a range of rope sizes rather than this one diameter alone. If you are ordering, check that 3mm is the diameter your starter housing and pulley are designed to take; the other printed sizes are not included in this listing as described.

Spool length and practical use

At 100 metres, the spool is a workshop or multi-machine quantity rather than a single repair length. You can measure and cut the cord to match the old rope, which is useful when you maintain more than one piece of petrol equipment or expect to replace cords over time.

Buying considerations

Diameter is the key check. A cord that is too thick may not sit correctly in the pulley groove or pass cleanly through the starter housing, while one that is too thin may not grip as intended. Compare the 3mm figure with the cord you are replacing before cutting a length from the spool.

The label's “HIGH QUALITY SPARE PARTS” wording is printed marketing text on the product label, not an independent certification or test result. No brand, model number or specific machine compatibility list is supplied, so fit should be confirmed against your own starter assembly.

FAQs

Is this a single replacement cord or a spool?

It is supplied as a 100-metre spool of 3mm rope, so you cut the length required for your starter.

Will it fit my chainsaw or brush cutter?

The saved information says it fits many petrol brush cutters, strimmers, chainsaws and many small two-stroke engines, but no specific models are named. Check that your machine uses 3mm starter cord.

Does the label mean other diameters are included?

The label lists several diameters, including 3.00mm. The product facts describe this item as 3mm rope, so the other printed sizes should not be assumed to be part of this spool.
