The Honda 28461-ZE2-H22 Starter Grip is a genuine OEM Starter Grip designed for Honda single-stage and two-stage snow blowers, including the HS520, HS521, HS720, HS1132, HS1332, HS522, HS55, HS621, HS622, HS624, HS724, HS80, HS828, HS928, and HSS724. As a genuine Honda part, this component is manufactured to the same standards as the original, ensuring a proper fit and feel in the operator's hand every time the recoil starter is pulled. Confirm your snow blower's model and serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda updates part numbers at production breaks and the correct grip depends on your specific unit.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — manufactured by Honda to the same specification as the original grip, delivering the correct handle profile and pull resistance for the recoil starter system
- Direct Recoil Starter Fit — this grip installs onto the recoil starter rope without modification, restoring a secure, comfortable hold on the pull handle
- Broad Snow Blower Compatibility — fits an extensive range of Honda single-stage models including the HS520, HS521, HS621, and HS720, as well as two-stage models including the HS522, HS55, HS622, HS624, HS724, HS80, HS828, HS928, HS1132, HS1332, and HSS724
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda revises parts across production runs, so check your snow blower's serial number against the fitment table to confirm part number 28461-ZE2-H22 is correct for your unit
- Restore a Safe, Confident Start — a cracked, hardened, or missing starter grip makes clean pulls difficult and puts strain on the operator's hand; replacing it promptly keeps every cold-weather start controlled and consistent
The starter grip is the molded handle attached to the end of the recoil starter rope. When the operator pulls the rope to crank the engine, the grip is the only point of contact between the hand and the starter mechanism — so its shape, size, and surface condition directly affect the quality of each pull. Over time, the grip can harden, crack, or break away from the rope entirely, making it difficult to generate the sharp, full pull that a recoil starter needs to spin the engine through compression and fire. Replacing a worn grip with a genuine Honda part restores the correct handle geometry and a secure knot anchor, so the recoil starter performs as intended through an entire snow removal season.
