Description
Overview:
The Spring Starter for Honda GXV530/GXV520/GCV530/GCV520 small engines is the flat, spiral recoil spring that powers the pull-start mechanism. As a Genuine Honda part (OEM No. 16534-Z0A-000), it is made from tempered high-carbon spring steel with a protective finish to resist wear and corrosion. During a pull start, the spring stores energy and then rewinds the starter rope and pulley to reset the system for the next start. It restores positive recoil action and smooth rope return on engines such as the GXV530 and GCV520 commonly used in ride-on mowers and professional groundcare machines. Engineered to Honda tolerances, it fits the original recoil housing without modification and helps maintain reliable starting performance in both domestic and commercial use.
Key Features:
- Genuine Honda replacement spring for assured compatibility and service life
- Direct fit for OEM part number 16534-Z0A-000; no adjustment needed
- Precision-formed flat spiral design delivers consistent rewind tension
- High-carbon steel construction with protective finish for durability
- Restores smooth rope return and reliable starter engagement
- Helps reduce false pulls and kickback by maintaining correct tension
- Suitable for frequent use in commercial and domestic equipment
- Straightforward installation in the recoil assembly for competent users
Typical Applications:
Used when the recoil rope fails to retract fully, the starter slips, or the engine becomes harder to start due to a fatigued or broken spring. Common in service and repair of Honda-powered ride-on mowers, lawn tractors, and turf equipment running GXV/GCV 520/530 engines. Suitable for workshop repairs, fleet maintenance, and refurbishing older machines to restore dependable starting.
