The Honda 28461-ZED-801 Recoil Starter Knob is a genuine OEM component designed for GX160 and GX200 horizontal shaft engines. As a direct Honda replacement, this knob is built to the same specification as the part originally fitted at the factory, ensuring a correct, secure grip for the starter rope pull. Confirm your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda does supersede parts at serial number breaks and the correct part number for your unit is determined by that range.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM Quality — sourced directly from Honda, this knob matches the original in size, shape, and grip texture, so starter-rope pull feel and ergonomics are preserved exactly as intended.
- Direct Replacement — designed to swap in without modification on compatible GX160 and GX200 engines, restoring full recoil starter function immediately.
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda supersedes starter components at serial breaks; check your engine's serial number against the fitment table to confirm this is the right part for your unit.
The recoil starter knob is the handle the operator grips when pulling the starter rope to crank the engine. It anchors the rope end and transfers the pulling force from the operator's hand into the recoil mechanism. A cracked, broken, or missing knob makes the engine difficult or impossible to start by hand — the rope has nothing secure to pull against — so replacing a worn knob promptly keeps the engine starting reliably and comfortably.
