Description
Overview:
This genuine Honda ratchet spring is a small but critical part of the recoil starter assembly on Honda GX series petrol engines, including GX240 and GX270. Made from tough spring steel, it provides the correct tension for the ratchet mechanism so the starter pawls engage and release smoothly when you pull and release the recoil cord. A worn or broken spring can cause slipping, poor engagement, or a dead pull-start. This OEM replacement (MPN 28443ZE2W01 / 28443-ZE2-W01) restores reliable starting performance and is a direct fit in the original starter housing. Suitable for engines used on generators, water pumps, compactors, cement mixers, pressure washers, and other equipment powered by Honda industrial engines, it helps keep downtime and starting effort to a minimum.
Key Features:
- Genuine Honda part for assured compatibility and fit
- OEM specification spring steel for durability and long service life
- Restores proper recoil ratchet engagement and smooth pull-start action
- Direct replacement for the starter ratchet spring in the recoil assembly
- Precisely formed ends to seat correctly in the ratchet mechanism
- Helps maintain starting efficiency and reduces pull cord wear
- Stable performance over repeated start cycles and temperature changes
- Suitable for a wide range of GX engines used in industrial and garden machinery
- Straightforward to fit with basic hand tools during routine maintenance
- Backed by Honda's manufacturing standards for consistent reliability
Typical Applications:
Used to replace a fatigued or broken ratchet spring in the recoil starter of Honda GX engines on equipment such as site generators, centrifugal pumps, plate compactors, concrete mixers, pressure washers, lawn and turf machinery, and similar petrol-powered tools. Ideal for preventative maintenance to keep pull-start systems dependable in daily trade, hire fleet, and DIY use.
Also known as:
Starter ratchet spring, ratchet pawl spring, recoil starter spring, rewind starter spring, pull-start ratchet spring, starter clutch spring. These terms refer to the same recoil mechanism spring that controls engagement of the pawls in Honda GX-series starter assemblies.
