LIZAPUS Recoil Pull Starter Compatible with Craftsman M110 M220 Model 11A-A2T2793 12A-A26B793 Lawn Mower

What It Is

The LIZAPUS recoil pull starter is a replacement assembly for Craftsman walk-behind mowers—specifically the M110 and M220 models (11A-A2T2793 and 12A-A26B793). It replaces the OEM starter rope, pulley, spring, and housing as a single unit, saving you from rebuilding a broken or worn-out recoil.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm these three things:

• Model number – Must match Craftsman M110 (11A-A2T2793) or M220 (12A-A26B793). Check your mower’s data tag under the rear flap or on the deck.
• Deck size – These models typically have 20–22” decks. The starter is designed for the Briggs & Stratton 550/575/625 series engines used on these mowers.
• Mounting holes – Measure the bolt spacing on your old starter. This aftermarket part uses standard 3.5” center-to-center holes, but verify with a ruler.

Do not assume it fits other Craftsman models—many use different bolt patterns or rope lengths. If your model isn’t listed, measure your old starter’s housing diameter (about 4.5”) and bolt spacing.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs OEM – At $21.99, this is about half the price of a genuine Craftsman part. Expect thinner plastic housing and a slightly stiffer pull. Works fine for light-to-medium use.
• Installation difficulty – Easy if you’re handy: remove one bolt, swap the assembly, and reattach the rope guide. No special tools needed. Takes 10–20 minutes.
• Rope length – The included rope is pre-wound and pre-tensioned. Do not over-tighten the spring during install—it can snap. Follow the included instructions carefully.
• Common gotcha – The rope may be slightly shorter than OEM (about 48” vs 52”). If your mower has a tall handle or you pull from a standing position, the extra slack might matter. Measure your old rope before ordering.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a quick, budget-friendly fix for a broken recoil on your Craftsman M110 or M220 and don’t mind a slightly less durable feel. Skip it if you want OEM fit/finish or have a different Craftsman model—measure first or go with a brand-specific replacement.
