Abstract
A starter which is capable of having an operator easily perform the starting operation of a backpack-type power working machine while shouldering it, is lighter in weight and cheaper in manufacturing cost, is relatively free from trouble, and can not easily be damaged even if a portion of the starter is caught by the branch of a tree. In this starter, a recoil handle attached to one end portion of the recoil rope is placed remote from the main body of the starter by a predetermined distance and adapted to be supported by a handle-supporting member provided at a specific portion of the working machine; and an extended portion of the recoil rope which is located between the main body and the handle-supporting member is loosely sheathed by a flexible guide pipe, one end of which being fixed, and the other end being made free.
