Description
Overview:
The Friction Spring for Honda GX240, GX270, GX340 and GX390 recoil starters is a small but vital component that keeps the pull-start mechanism working smoothly. Made from durable spring steel, this Genuine Honda part adds controlled friction within the starter assembly so the pawls engage and release correctly, helping the rope rewind cleanly and reducing harsh snatch on start-up. It is designed for petrol engines used on equipment such as generators, pressure washers and compactors, and is a direct-fit replacement for worn or distorted springs. Built to Honda's OEM specification for consistency and long service life, it restores reliable starting performance on engines like the GX240 and GX270 without modification. Manufacturer Part Number: 28441-ZE2-W01.
