The Honda 28410-Z2E-003ZA Recoil Starter Case (Power Red) is a genuine OEM replacement built for GX440 horizontal shaft engines. This is a direct Honda OEM part, meaning it is manufactured to the same standards as the original component that shipped with the engine. Confirm your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes parts at production breaks and more than one case variant may be listed for the GX440 series.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Housing Integrity — sourced directly from Honda, this recoil starter case provides the correct internal geometry for proper pawl engagement and rope-guide alignment that aftermarket housings sometimes compromise.
- Color-Specific Variant — the Power Red finish identifies this as a specific production variant for the GX440; match this color designation to your original case to ensure you receive the correct replacement.
- GX440 Fitment — designed specifically for GX440 horizontal shaft engines; check your serial number against the compatibility table to confirm this is the correct variant for your unit.
- Starter System Reliability — a cracked, broken, or warped starter case prevents the recoil mechanism from seating correctly, leading to hard-starting or a starter assembly that will not engage at all; replacing it restores clean, consistent pull-start operation.
The recoil starter case is the outer housing that encloses the entire pull-start assembly — the rewind spring, rope pulley, and pawl mechanism. It mounts to the engine blower housing and holds all starter components in precise alignment so that each pull of the rope winds and releases correctly. When the case cracks or distorts, the internal components lose their alignment, causing the starter to bind, fail to rewind, or disengage from the flywheel cup — leaving the engine unable to start until the housing is replaced.
