The Bomag 05744802 Recoil Starter is a genuine OEM recoil starter designed for Bomag BP 18/45 D-2 vibratory plates, BT 80 D tampers, and BPR 30/38 D-3 reversible vibratory plates. As a direct OEM replacement, this starter is manufactured to the same specifications as the original unit, ensuring a proper fit with the engine's pull-cord housing and rewind mechanism. Sourced directly from Bomag, part number 05744802 delivers the correct engagement geometry and spring tension your machine requires. Whether you're restoring a worn-out starter on a plate compactor or a tamper, this component brings your equipment back to reliable, consistent starting performance.
Key Features
- OEM-Matched Rewind Tension — manufactured to Bomag's original spring and rope specifications so the pull cord engages and retracts with the correct resistance for smooth, repeatable starts
- Direct-Fit Replacement — engineered to align with the existing bolt pattern and engine interface on diesel-powered Bomag compaction equipment, allowing straightforward installation without modification
- Broad Compaction Equipment Coverage — fits the BP 18/45 D-2 vibratory plate, BPR 30/38 D-3 reversible vibratory plate, and BT 80 D tamper, covering multiple machine types in a single OEM part
- Restores Cold-Start Reliability — a damaged or seized recoil starter leaves equipment unable to start on the jobsite; replacing it with a genuine OEM unit restores full starting capability immediately
- Genuine Bomag OEM Quality — produced to Bomag's own durability standards, with housing materials and internal components rated for the repeated mechanical stress of pull-cord starting cycles in demanding field conditions
A recoil starter is the manual pull-start mechanism that cranks the engine when the operator pulls the starter cord. Inside the housing, a coiled rewind spring stores tension and snaps the cord back into position after each pull, while a set of pawls momentarily engage the engine flywheel to transfer rotation and initiate combustion. When the starter rope frays, the rewind spring loses tension, or the pawl assembly wears, the engine becomes difficult or impossible to start manually. Replacing the recoil starter with a correctly specified unit restores the mechanical link between operator effort and engine ignition, keeping compaction work on schedule.
