In order to improve a pull-rope type starting device (100) for an one internal combustion engine, having at least one rope drum (4) which is rotatably held in a housing (1), wherein said starting device, for generating the drive torque for the motor shaft by means of a starter handle, is rotatable by way of a starter rope or pull-rope, and by way of an elastic coupling element (6) connected to a ratchet-type engaging element, by means of which the drive torque can be transmitted to the motor shaft, such that the elastic coupling element (6) or a part thereof can simply, effectively and reliably be prevented from entering a design-related gap between the rope drum (4) and the engaging element (5), it is proposed that a bushing or sleeve (8) be provided in this gap.
