Description
Overview:
The Reel - Robin Part - RB246 50720 18 is a replacement reel used within the pull-start mechanism of compatible Robin/Subaru small petrol engines fitted to construction and garden machinery. Built from hard-wearing, impact-resistant material, it houses and guides the starter rope, allowing smooth payout when pulling and reliable rewind after starting. A sound reel helps restore consistent engagement and reduces snags that can fatigue the cord or recoil spring. Suitable for equipment such as generators, water pumps, plate compactors, lawnmowers and brushcutters, this reel is intended for routine maintenance or repair where the original has worn, cracked, or deformed. It is produced to match the form and function of the original component for dependable operation in demanding site and garden conditions.
Key Features:
- Durable, wear-resistant construction for long service life in dusty and damp environments
- Accurate moulding for smooth rope tracking and even rewind to protect cord and spring
- Direct replacement design for straightforward fitting with standard hand tools
- Helps restore reliable pull-start action and reduces rope snagging or misfeed
- Stable hub and flanged guides to keep knots seated and the rope aligned
- Lightweight component to minimise rotational load on the recoil spring
- Corrosion-proof material for low maintenance compared with metal pulleys
- Suitable for both workshop overhauls and on-site repairs
Typical Applications:
Used to refurbish recoil starters on small-engine equipment commonly found on construction sites and in gardens, including generators, pumps, compactors, lawnmowers, tillers and brushcutters. Ideal when a starter becomes rough, sticks on rewind, or shows damage to the original reel. Helps maintain efficient, dependable starting performance across regular maintenance cycles.
