A pulley assembly for a starter device for starting an internal combustion engine of a hand-guided power tool has a pulley with an axis of rotation extending in axial direction. A circumferential side of the pulley is positioned outwardly in radial direction relative to the axis of rotation. A circumferential recess is arranged at the circumferential side and accommodates a starter rope. The pulley is provided with a spring receptacle. A connecting spring is disposed in the spring receptacle and has a first end fixedly connected to the pulley. The spring receptacle and the recess overlap each other, viewed in the axial direction and viewed in the radial direction. A starter device is provided with the pulley assembly and a second end of the connecting spring is fixedly connected to a coupling device of the starter device that couples the pulley to the crankshaft of the combustion engine.
