Bomag 05747641 Recoil Starter

The Bomag 05747641 Recoil Starter is a genuine OEM Recoil Starter designed for a wide range of Bomag vibratory plates and walk-behind rollers, including the BP 10/36-2, BP 20/48, BP 25/48, BPR 30/38, BPR 30/38-2, BPR 30/38-3, and BW 55 E. Sourced directly from Bomag, this starter is built to the same specification as the original unit, ensuring a direct, correct-fit replacement every time. This component is the right choice when your machine refuses to start or the pull cord mechanism has worn or seized — restoring reliable engine cranking without guesswork.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Recoil Mechanism — manufactured to Bomag's exact engagement and cord-tension specifications, maintaining the crisp, consistent pull action the engine needs to fire correctly
• Direct Bolt-On Replacement — mounts to the engine housing using the original mounting points, requiring no modification to the plate or roller for installation
• Broad Vibratory Plate Coverage — fits BP-series vibratory plates including the BP 8/34, BP 10/36-2, BP 12/50 A, BP 15/36-2, BP 15/45-2, BP 18/45-2, BP 20/48, BP 20/60, BP 23/48, BP 23/60, and BP 25/48, as well as BPR 30/38, BPR 30/38-2, BPR 30/38-3, and BPR 35/38-3 reversible vibratory plates
• Walk-Behind Roller Fitment — also confirmed for the BW 55 E walk-behind / light roller, making this a versatile replacement for mixed Bomag fleets
• Restored Engine Start Reliability — a worn or broken recoil starter leaves a machine dead on the job; replacing it with part number 05747641 restores full manual cranking capability and keeps the engine accessible when needed

The recoil starter is the manual engine-starting mechanism on small engine-powered compaction equipment. When the operator pulls the handle, an internal spring-loaded spool engages the engine's flywheel, spinning it fast enough to initiate combustion. Once the engine fires, the spool retracts automatically and the cord rewinds for the next pull. Over time, the pull cord frays, the internal return spring weakens, or the pawl engagement mechanism wears, resulting in a starter that slips, fails to retract, or will not engage the flywheel at all — leaving the machine unable to start. Fitting a genuine Bomag replacement restores the correct engagement force and rewind tension, getting your plate or roller back to work quickly.
