PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To smoothen a pulling force of a rope and to facilitate starting of an engine by increasing starting rotation speed of the engine, by avoiding rapid increase of the pulling force of the pull rope of a recoil starter in an engine compressing process and assisting the pulling force with a spring force of a spiral spring previously storing force, in starting the engine with the recoil starter. SOLUTION: This recoil starter comprises a pull rope reel rotatably engaging with a shaft disposed in a cover case and the pull rope that is wound on the pull rope reel and rewound by a restoring force of a first spiral spring, and starts the engine by rotating the pull rope reel by pulling the pull rope. The recoil starter further comprises a ratchet claw capable of releasing engagement with a centrifugal force provided for a crankshaft of the engine, an intermediate shaft cylinder having a projection that rotatably engages with a shaft of the cover case and engages with the ratchet claw, and a second spiral spring of which inside is fixed to the outer cylinder of the intermediate shaft cylinder and outside is fixed to a ring on a side surface of the pull rope reel.
