The Honda 28470-816-000 Starter Rope is a genuine OEM replacement designed for an exceptionally wide range of Honda equipment, including GX120 and GX160 horizontal shaft engines, G150, G200, and G300 horizontal shaft engines, GV150, GV200, and GV400 vertical shaft engines, BF5, BF8, BF9, BF15, BF25, BF30, BF35, BF40, BF45, BF50, BF75, BF90, BF100, and B75 portable and outboard motors, E1500, E2500, E3500, EG1000, EG1500, and ES3500 generators, F400, F500, FR500, and FR700 tillers, HR21 and HRA21 lawn mowers, HS35 snow blowers, and WA20, WA30, WB20, and WB30 water pumps. As a genuine Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the same specification. Because Honda supersedes recoil starter components at various production breaks, always confirm your unit's serial number against the fitment table before ordering.
Key Features
- Direct Recoil Starter Replacement — sized to thread and knot into the existing starter pulley without cutting or splicing, restoring a smooth, full-length pull stroke.
- Broad Cross-Equipment Fitment — covers Honda outboard motors, generators, tillers, lawn mowers, snow blowers, water pumps, and horizontal and vertical shaft engines; confirm your model and serial number against the fitment table.
- Worn Rope Consequences — a frayed or snapped starter rope leaves the engine or motor impossible to start; replacing it promptly with part number 28470-816-000 restores immediate pull-start capability.
The starter rope is the pull cord that transmits force from the operator's hand to the recoil starter mechanism. When the rope is pulled, it spins the starter pulley, which engages a ratcheting pawl to crank the engine or motor over until it fires. Over time, repeated pulls cause the rope to fray, stiffen, or break entirely, leaving the equipment unable to start.
