Description
Overview:
This is a genuine Honda recoil starter assembly with twin plastic pawls for reliable engagement, designed for small petrol engines such as the Honda GX120 and GX160. It replaces a worn or broken starter to restore smooth, dependable pull starting. The assembly features a robust painted steel housing, a durable starter rope with a comfortable handle, and plastic pawls that engage the flywheel cup for positive cranking. Built to Honda's OEM specification (OEM No. 28400-ZH8-013YA), it ensures correct fitment and consistent performance. Suitable for a wide range of Honda-powered machinery used in construction, agriculture, landscaping, and hire fleets. It is also commonly used on the Honda GX200, making it a practical choice when servicing mixed GX-series equipment.
