The Honda 28461-Z0L-V71 Recoil Starter Knob is a genuine OEM Recoil Starter Knob designed for GCV160 vertical shaft engines. As a direct Honda OEM component, this knob is produced to the exact specification of the original part it replaces, ensuring a correct fit without modification. If your engine's starter knob is cracked, broken, or missing, this is the part to restore full pull-start operation.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM — sourced directly from Honda, this knob matches the original in shape, grip geometry, and attachment, so the pull-cord seats and operates exactly as intended.
- Direct Replacement — engineered to fit part number 28461-Z0L-V71 applications on GCV160 vertical shaft engines with no alteration needed.
- Restore Pull-Start Function — a damaged or missing starter knob makes the engine difficult or impossible to start; fitting this replacement puts reliable hand-grip back in the operator's hands.
- Verify Your Serial Number — Honda updates parts at production breaks, so confirm your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to ensure this knob is correct for your unit.
The recoil starter knob is the handle the operator grips when pulling the starter rope to crank the engine. It anchors to the end of the rope and transfers the pulling force smoothly to the recoil mechanism inside the starter assembly. When the knob cracks, splits, or separates from the rope, starting the engine becomes difficult and can result in rope damage or an inability to start at all — making this a straightforward but essential service item.
