The Honda 28410-ZE2-W01ZD Recoil Starter Case (Bartell Blue) is a genuine OEM replacement designed for GX240 and GX270 horizontal shaft engines. As an authentic Honda part, it is manufactured to the same standards as the original component, ensuring a direct fit without rework or modification. This part carries the Bartell Blue color designation — verify that this color matches your existing recoil starter assembly before ordering, as GX240 and GX270 engines may be fitted with different color variants depending on the serial range and original equipment configuration. Always cross-reference your engine's serial number against the fitment table to confirm this is the correct case for your unit.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM — sourced directly from Honda, this case meets the same dimensional and material specifications as the part it replaces, so the rope pulley and recoil mechanism seat correctly inside the housing.
- Bartell Blue Color Variant — the (Bartell Blue) designation identifies a specific color of this case. If your engine carries a different colored starter housing, this is not the correct variant — match the color to your original unit.
- GX240 and GX270 Fitment — built for Honda GX240 and GX270 horizontal shaft engines, covering a wide range of commercial and industrial equipment applications.
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda supersedes parts at production breaks, so confirm your engine's serial number against the fitment table before purchasing to ensure this case corresponds to your specific build.
The recoil starter case is the outer housing that encloses the entire recoil starter assembly — the rope pulley, rewind spring, and pawl mechanism. It mounts to the engine and provides the structural enclosure that guides the starter rope and contains the return spring under tension. When the case is cracked, broken, or damaged, the starter assembly loses its structural support, the rope may jam or fail to retract, and the engine becomes difficult or impossible to start by hand. Replacing a damaged case with a correctly fitting genuine OEM unit restores full starter function and protects the internal recoil components from dirt and debris.
