Description
Overview:
This Genuine Part recoil starter spring replaces OEM 28442-ZH8-003 and restores smooth, reliable pull-start performance on small Honda petrol engines. Made from tempered spring steel for strength and fatigue resistance, the spiral spring rewinds the starter rope and returns the pulley after each pull, helping the engine engage cleanly and start consistently. It is commonly used on GX120 and GX160 engines, and is also found on earlier compact units such as the G100 and GX100. Suitable for construction, hire, agricultural, and garden machinery, it is a straightforward fix when the starter fails to retract or feels weak. A direct-fit part designed for long service life, it helps keep vital equipment ready to run with minimal downtime.
