The Bomag 05748923 Recoil Starter is a genuine OEM component designed for Bomag BP and BVP series vibratory plates. This recoil starter delivers an exact fit for the BP 10/35, BP 12/40, BP 12/50 A, BP 20/50, BP 25/50, BVP 10/36, BVP 18/45, and BVP 12/50 A vibratory plates, ensuring the engine engages correctly every time. Sourced directly from Bomag, part number 05748923 meets the same build standards as the original component installed at the factory. Operators who rely on these compact forward vibratory plates for soil and aggregate compaction can count on this starter to keep engine start-up smooth and consistent across the full range of covered machines.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Pull Mechanism — engineered to the correct cord tension, pawl engagement, and rewind spring specification for Bomag BP and BVP vibratory plates, so the engine turns over with the right compression resistance every pull
- Direct Bolt-On Replacement — matches the original mounting pattern and housing dimensions, slotting into the engine shroud without modification to brackets or shroud panels
- Broad Plate Coverage — fits the full lineup of BP 10/35, BP 12/40, BP 12/50 A, BP 20/50, BP 25/50, BVP 10/36, BVP 18/45, and BVP 12/50 A forward vibratory plates
- Consistent Cold and Hot Starts — a correctly functioning recoil starter delivers repeatable engagement, eliminating the hard pulls and rope slippage that come with a worn or damaged unit
- Verified Bomag Part Number — order with confidence knowing part number 05748923 is the correct OEM reference for these BP and BVP models, preventing costly mis-fits
The recoil starter is the manual engine-starting assembly mounted to the engine shroud of a vibratory plate. When the operator pulls the handle, the starter cord engages a set of centrifugal pawls or dogs that grip the engine flywheel, rotating the crankshaft through its compression stroke to fire the engine. Once the engine starts, the pawls retract and the rewind spring coils the cord back into the housing. A worn recoil starter can exhibit a frayed or snapped cord, a broken rewind spring, or pawls that fail to engage — any of which leaves the machine unable to start and the crew unable to compact. Replacing a failing unit promptly with the correct OEM part restores reliable engine start-up and keeps the plate productive on the compaction site.
