Starter and Charging System

There are two starter systems available for the MTD engine. The first one is a recoil starter and the second is a
110 volt electric starter. All of the 78/83/90 series MTD engines equipped with an electric starter, are also equipped
with a recoil starter.
Recoil Starter Removal
