The Honda 28421-Z1T-702 is a genuine OEM Recoil Starter Reel (Black) designed for the FC600 tiller, GX120, GX160, and GX200 horizontal shaft engines, and WB20, WB30, WH15, WH20, WMP20, and WT20 water pumps. As a direct Honda OEM component, this reel is manufactured to the same specification as the part that left the factory, ensuring the rope wraps, retracts, and engages the starter pawls exactly as intended. Confirm your machine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes starter components at specific serial breaks across this range.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Recoil Geometry — manufactured by Honda to the exact spool diameter and rope channel profile the recoil starter housing requires, so rope travel and retraction tension match the original design
- Black Variant Identification — this is the Black reel; verify the color against your existing reel before ordering, as Honda lists more than one variant for this starter assembly
- Broad Fitment — covers the FC600 tiller, GX120, GX160, and GX200 horizontal shaft engines, and WB20, WB30, WH15, WH20, WMP20, and WT20 water pumps, including the range of equipment those engines power
- Serial Number Matters — Honda introduces supersession points within production runs, so always cross-reference your unit's serial number with the fitment table to confirm this reel is the correct one for your machine
- Starter Performance — a worn or cracked reel causes uneven rope retraction, failed starts, or a rope that won't rewind at all; replacing it restores a clean, consistent pull every time
The recoil starter reel is the spool at the center of the pull-start assembly. When you pull the starter rope, it unwinds from this reel, driving the starter cup and engaging the engine's crankshaft to initiate combustion. A spring inside the housing rewinds the rope back onto the reel once tension is released. Over time, the reel can crack from repeated impacts, develop worn rope grooves, or seize if debris enters the housing — any of which leaves the engine unable to start. Replacing the reel with a genuine Honda part restores full starter function and protects the surrounding starter components from the additional stress a damaged reel can cause.
