Description
Overview:
This Recoil Spring (Honda reference 28442-ZM3-003) is a Genuine Honda part designed for the pull-start mechanism on small Honda engines. Made from tempered spring steel in a flat, spiral form, it restores the correct tension so the starter rope rewinds smoothly and the engine engages reliably. It is engineered for the Honda GX22 and GX31 series, common on handheld and compact machinery. Fitted inside the recoil starter assembly, it replaces a worn, weakened, or broken spring to bring back consistent starting performance. As a Genuine Honda component, it matches the original specification for fit and function, supporting long service life in both professional and domestic use. A direct replacement for the factory spring within the existing starter housing and pulley.
