This is an original OEM Ski-Doo Recoil Pull Starter Assembly (Part #420994783). This genuine vintage component was removed from a well-maintained trail machine and has been thoroughly cleaned and inspected. As a factory Rotax part, it is engineered specifically for the 247cc single-cylinder engines found in the Elan series, providing the correct internal pawl engagement and spring tension required for reliable starting.
As a part from a clean, dry-stored snowmobile, this recoil assembly is in excellent functional condition. It has been meticulously bench-tested to ensure the spring has strong return tension and the engagement pawls (dogs) extend and retract smoothly without sticking. The aluminum housing has been checked for hairline fractures—a common failure point on vintage single-cylinder machines due to high engine vibration. While it shows a natural vintage patina consistent with its age, it is structurally sound and ready for immediate installation. This complete assembly is a much more reliable option than trying to piece together a recoil with weak springs or worn-out internal components.
