Important Notes

• Verify compatibility with your specific generator or equipment model, manufacturing number, engine model, serial number, and production revision before ordering.
• Homelite OEM parts suppliers identify DJ188F-16000-A specifically as “PULLEY STARTER.”
• Factory engine documentation identifies the same component as “Pulley, Starter.”
• DJ188F-16000-A supersedes previous Homelite OEM part number D264501.
• Factory engine documentation specifies one DJ188F-16000-A Starter Pulley per applicable engine assembly.
• Do not confuse DJ188F-16000-A Starter Pulley with DJ188F-16002-A Recoil Starter Fan / Cooling Fan. They are separate components positioned next to each other within applicable engine assemblies.
• The starter pulley is also separate from the complete recoil starter assembly, starter rope, starter grip, starter housing, flywheel, and electric starter motor.
• Do not select a replacement pulley based solely on appearance. Diameter, engagement features, mounting configuration, engine design, and equipment application can vary between similar components.
• Inspect the associated recoil starter fan, flywheel, starter assembly, mounting hardware, and surrounding engine components when replacing the pulley.
• If the original pulley has excessive wear or impact damage, inspect mating starter components for corresponding wear or deformation.
• Remove dirt, oil residue, corrosion, and other debris from the applicable mounting area during service.
• Install the replacement pulley in the same factory position and orientation as the original component.
• Ensure all associated starting components move and engage correctly before returning the equipment to service.
• Shut down the equipment, allow the engine to cool completely, disconnect the spark plug where applicable, and follow manufacturer service procedures before performing repairs.
• This listing is for one Homelite DJ188F-16000-A Starter Pulley only unless otherwise specified. Recoil starter fans, flywheels, starter assemblies, ropes, grips, nuts, fasteners, and other engine components are sold separately.
• Match part number DJ188F-16000-A with your equipment's illustrated parts diagram or OEM documentation before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
