A recoil starter mechanism (10) mounted in axial alignment with the flywheel (12) of an internal combustion engine has a drive plate (16) with clutch teeth (34) which moves axially when rotated to engage clutch teeth (17) on the flywheel and rotate the flywheel (12) to start the engine. The drive plate (16) is driven axially and rotationally by ramps (30) on the starter pulley (14) when the starter rope (24) is pulled. A brake plate (18) frictionally engaging the starter housing (13) has arms (37) engaging the drive plate to resist rotation of the drive plate (16), thereby forcing the drive plate to move axially as the starter pulley (14) is rotated.
