The Honda 28400-Z0T-003ZB is a genuine OEM Recoil Starter Assembly (Power Red) designed for a wide range of Honda tillers, water pumps, and horizontal shaft engines. As a direct OEM replacement, this assembly is built to Honda's exact specifications, ensuring a proper pull-start action every time. This starter fits GX120, GX160, and GX200 horizontal shaft engines, as well as WB20, WB30, WH15, WH20, WMP20, WP20, WP30, WT20, WD20, WD30, WDP20, and WDP30 water pumps, and F401, F501, FC600, FR600, FR650, and FR750 tillers — confirm your model and serial number against the fitment table before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Pull-Start Performance — manufactured by Honda to deliver consistent cord tension and reliable engagement with the engine's starter cup, unlike worn or degraded units that slip or fail to engage
- Power Red Color Match — the (Power Red) finish matches the OEM housing color on compatible Honda equipment, maintaining the factory appearance of the machine
- Broad Compatibility — fits GX120, GX160, and GX200 horizontal shaft engines, multiple Honda water pump models, and Honda tiller models including the F401, F501, FC600, FR600, FR650, and FR750; always verify your serial number against the fitment table, as Honda supersedes parts at serial breaks
- Complete Assembly — supplied as a full starter assembly, so the recoil spring, pawls, rope, and housing come ready to install as a single unit rather than requiring individual component sourcing
A recoil starter assembly provides the manual pull-start mechanism that cranks the engine for ignition. When the operator pulls the starter rope, a coiled recoil spring stores and returns energy while a set of pawls engages the starter cup on the engine's flywheel, turning it over until combustion begins. When the recoil spring breaks, the rope frays, or the pawls wear out, the engine will not start — making a full assembly replacement the fastest and most reliable fix. Replacing the complete unit with an OEM assembly like part number 28400-Z0T-003ZB ensures every internal component works together as designed, restoring dependable starts on the equipment it powers.
