The Honda 28461-Z3F-M01 Recoil Starter Knob is a genuine OEM component designed for a wide range of Honda equipment, including GX25, GX35, and GX50 horizontal shaft engines, the FG110 tiller, HHT25, HHT35, UMC425, and UMC435 trimmers, and the WX10 water pump. As the OEM part, it is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring a correct fit and feel every time the engine is pulled to life. Confirm part number 28461-Z3F-M01 against your unit's serial number and parts diagram before ordering, as Honda updates fitment at production breaks.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — sourced directly from Honda, this knob matches the original in grip diameter, rope attachment, and material — so the starter pulls and returns exactly as it did from the factory
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — engineered to interchange with the original starter knob, this part installs without modification on all listed models
- Broad Honda Fitment — covers GX25, GX35, and GX50 horizontal shaft engines, the FG110 tiller, HHT25, HHT35, UMC425, and UMC435 trimmers, and the WX10 water pump; check your serial number against the fitment table to confirm the correct application
- Restored Starting Confidence — a cracked, frayed, or broken starter knob makes every pull unpredictable; replacing it with this genuine part restores a secure, comfortable grip and consistent starter rope engagement
The recoil starter knob is the hand grip at the end of the starter rope on a manual pull-start system. When the operator pulls the knob, the rope unwinds the starter pulley, spinning the engine's crankshaft to initiate combustion. The knob itself takes the direct mechanical load of every pull, so a worn or cracked knob can slip in the hand, fray the rope at the attachment point, or break entirely — leaving the equipment unable to start. Replacing a damaged knob with a genuine Honda part restores a firm, reliable grip and protects the rope from premature wear at the anchor point.
