Confirm part number 05745238 against your machine's parts manual before ordering to ensure a correct match.
Key Features
- OEM Cord and Pawl Integrity — Genuine Bomag construction means the recoil cord, spring tension, and engagement pawls meet the same pull-force and durability specs as the original unit.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Mounts to the BT 80 D engine housing using the original bolt pattern, eliminating the need to source adapters or modify the mounting surface.
- Confirmed BT 80 D Fitment — Part number 05745238 is cataloged specifically for the Bomag BT 80 D diesel tamper, so you order with confidence.
- Consistent Engine Engagement — A correctly functioning recoil starter delivers smooth, repeatable pull resistance that engages the engine flywheel cleanly on every start cycle, maintaining full compaction productivity on site.
- Operator Safety Assurance — A worn or broken recoil mechanism can slip or snap back unexpectedly during pull-starting; a fresh OEM unit restores predictable, controlled engagement and reduces hand and wrist strain risk.
The recoil starter is the manual pull-start mechanism attached to the engine. When the operator pulls the handle, an internal spring-loaded cord engages a set of centrifugal pawls that spin the engine flywheel fast enough to initiate combustion. Once the engine fires, the pawls retract automatically so the starter disengages cleanly. Over time, the recoil spring can lose tension, the cord can fray, or the pawls can wear — any of these failures will leave the engine unable to start and the machine out of service until the assembly is replaced.
