Description

Product Overview

The STS Parts 16‑tooth starter pinion kit is engineered as a direct OEM replacement for Tecumseh engines such as TVM125‑TVM140, HSK50‑HSK70, and H50‑H70. Each kit includes a precisely machined 1.28″ gear OD, 1.283″ overall length, and a retainer ring sized 0.354″ ID / 0.61″ OD. Constructed from hardened, wear‑resistant steel, the pinion delivers consistent torque transfer and resists stripping under repeated start cycles.
