The Honda 28410-ZB2-C02ZF Recoil Starter Case (Mat Black) is a genuine OEM component designed for GX160 horizontal shaft engines. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring a correct fit without guesswork. This is the mat black finish variant — confirm your unit carries this color before ordering, as other finish variants exist for the GX160 line. Verify your engine serial number against the fitment table to confirm this is the right case for your specific production run.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM Construction — sourced directly from Honda, this recoil starter case meets the same dimensional and material standards as the part that left the factory with your engine.
- Built for GX160 Horizontal Shaft Engines — engineered specifically for the GX160 engine family; check your engine serial number against the compatibility table to confirm fitment within the correct production range.
- Restores Starter Integrity — a cracked, broken, or warped starter case allows the recoil mechanism to shift under load, causing hard starts, cord misalignment, or starter failure; replacing it with this OEM case brings the assembly back to proper operation.
The recoil starter case is the outer housing that encloses and supports the entire recoil starter assembly — the rope pulley, rewind spring, and pawl mechanism that engage the engine's flywheel to crank it on startup. It holds all of those components in precise alignment so the starter rope retracts cleanly and the pawls engage the flywheel cup consistently with every pull. When the case is cracked, warped, or broken, the internal components lose their alignment, leading to a starter that binds, fails to retract, or cannot transfer enough force to turn the engine over reliably.
