GOOFIT Recoil Pull Starter Review: Replacement Starter with Mixed Performance

The GOOFIT Recoil Pull Starter provides a replacement option for those who have the GX120, GX160, and GX200 168F 5.5HP/6.5HP engines. While it does feature a durable construction and fits well with the mentioned engines, the overall performance of this starter is mixed. On the positive side, the GOOFIT Recoil Pull Starter appears to be a well-built product that will last for quite some time. Additionally, it is also easy to install and the instructions are relatively clear and concise. This starter also seems to fit well on the engines it is designed for. However, there are some notable drawbacks to this product. One major issue is that the rope tends to get stuck and difficult to pull after just a few uses. This can be quite frustrating, especially if you're in a hurry to get your engine running. In some cases, the rope may even completely break or become dislodged. Another concern with the GOOFIT Recoil Pull Starter is that it may not be compatible with all engine models. Some users have reported that it didn't fit properly on their engine, despite being advertised as a universal fit. It is important to make sure that this starter will work with your engine before purchasing it. Overall, the GOOFIT Recoil Pull Starter offers a mixed performance. While it is durable and easy to install, the issues with the rope getting stuck and compatibility with certain engine models may be dealbreakers for some users. Considering these factors, this product is worth trying if you're looking for a budget-friendly replacement starter, but it may be worth investing in a more reliable option if you want a hassle-free experience.
