503217321 Recoil Starter Screws Kit Compatible with Husqvarna 340 345 350 435 440 450 455 460 461-12 Pack with Washers & Wrench

What It Is

This is a 12-pack of replacement recoil starter screws (with matching washers and a wrench) designed for specific Husqvarna chainsaws and trimmers. It’s used to secure the recoil starter assembly to the engine housing—common replacement after stripping, corrosion, or loss during starter repairs.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check these before buying:

• Exact models: Husqvarna 340, 345, 350, 435, 440, 450, 455, 460 chainsaws. Also fits some Husqvarna trimmers (verify part number cross-reference).
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an aftermarket kit; OEM part is Husqvarna 503217321. Aftermarket screws may be slightly softer steel—fine for casual use.
• Measurements: Screws are typically M5 x 12mm with a Torx head (T20 or T25). Confirm your starter uses this thread size. If your original screws are shorter/longer, this kit may not fit.
• Washers: Includes flat washers—make sure your starter recess accommodates them (some older models use no washers).
• Wrench: Included Torx wrench is budget-grade; use your own quality T20/T25 bit for better torque control.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Screws are functional but not hardened like OEM. Avoid over-torquing (hand-tight + 1/8 turn) to prevent stripping.
• Installation: Simple—remove old screws, align starter, thread new screws with washers. Takes 5 minutes. No special skills needed.
• Common gotcha: The included wrench is short and may not reach recessed screws on some models. Use a Torx socket or bit driver instead.
• Compatibility trap: Not all Husqvarna 400-series use the same screw length. Measure your old screw length before ordering—if it’s 14mm or longer, this kit won’t work.

Should You Buy It

If you need to replace stripped or lost recoil starter screws on a Husqvarna 340–460 series saw and want a cheap, one-stop kit with washers and a wrench, this is a solid value. Avoid if you need OEM-grade durability for commercial use or if your model uses non-standard screw length—measure first.
