Description
Overview:
This Starter Cup is a genuine Honda component that forms part of the recoil starting system on small petrol engines. Made from durable metal with a cup-shaped form, it provides the engagement surface for the starter pawls so the crankshaft turns smoothly during pull start. It is engineered for reliable performance on Honda GX120 and GX160 engines commonly used in construction and garden machinery. As an OEM part with MPN 28451-ZH8-801, it offers correct fitment and consistent operation without modification. Fitting a new starter cup restores dependable starting when the original has worn, rounded, or cracked, helping maintain equipment uptime and reducing effort needed to start the engine.
