The Honda 28450-ZH8-811 Starter Pulley is a genuine OEM component designed for F401, F501, FR600, FR650, FR750, and FR800 tillers and GX160 horizontal shaft engines. As a direct Honda OEM replacement, this pulley is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring it seats and engages correctly within the recoil starter assembly. Confirm your machine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes parts at serial breaks and more than one variant may be listed across these models.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM Part — manufactured by Honda to original specification, so the rope groove profile and pawl engagement geometry match what came off the production line
- Broad Tiller and Engine Fitment — suits F401, F501, FR600, FR650, FR750, and FR800 tillers as well as GX160 horizontal shaft engines; verify your serial number against the fitment table to confirm the correct variant for your unit
- Recoil Function Restored — a worn or cracked starter pulley causes rope slippage, uneven rewind, or a complete failure to crank; replacing this component restores a clean, controlled pull every time
The starter pulley is the rope-winding spool at the heart of the recoil starter. When you pull the starter grip, the rope unwinds from this pulley and drives the pawls outward to engage the engine's flywheel cup, turning the engine over. A spring beneath or around the pulley retracts the rope once you release the grip. Over time, the rope groove can wear smooth or the pulley can crack under repeated stress, causing the rope to slip or the recoil to lose tension. Replacing the pulley with a genuine Honda part restores crisp, consistent starting to the tiller or engine it serves.
