The Honda 28461-ZA8-902 Starter Knob is a genuine OEM Starter Knob designed for BF2 portable outboard motors and EM650, EX1000, and EX650 generators. As a direct Honda OEM component, this part is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring a proper fit on the recoil starter assembly. Honda sources this component across several distinct machine lines, so confirm your model and serial number against the fitment table before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM — sourced directly from Honda, this Starter Knob matches the original in dimensions and construction, ensuring it seats correctly on the recoil starter pull cord without play or misalignment.
- Cross-Platform Fitment — covers the BF2 portable outboard motor alongside the EM650, EX1000, and EX650 generators; check your serial number against the fitment table to confirm the correct application for your unit.
- Secure Grip Where It Counts — a worn or cracked starter knob makes pull-starting difficult and unreliable; replacing it restores a firm, controlled grip every time the engine is started.
The starter knob is the handle at the end of the recoil starter pull cord. When the operator pulls to start the engine, the knob is the point of contact that transfers force to the cord, which spins the recoil mechanism and cranks the engine. Over time, the knob can crack, split, or become slippery from UV exposure and repeated use, making a clean, sharp pull difficult. Replacing a damaged knob with part number 28461-ZA8-902 restores comfortable, confident pull-starting and prevents the cord from slipping through the operator's hand mid-pull.
