The starter cover assembly with the mechanism encloses and carries the recoil starter mechanism of the STIHL chainsaw: the pulley, the return spring and the ratchet are mounted on it.
Replace it if the plastic is cracked, the lugs are broken, or the pulley seat is damaged. If the cord does not return or the starter does not engage the flywheel, first check the spring and the pawls.
When replacing, clean the seat of dirt, oil and sawdust and inspect the neighboring parts: a worn unit often drags the others with it.
