Honda 28474-YA0-N40 Starter Reel Cover

The Honda 28474-YA0-N40 Starter Reel Cover is a genuine OEM replacement designed for a wide range of Honda generators, tillers, horizontal and vertical shaft engines, lawn mowers, single-stage snow blowers, and water pumps — including the E1500, E2500, EB3000, ED1000, EG1000, EG1400, EG1500, EG2200, EM1600, EM1800, EM2200, EM3000, F400, F500, FR500, FR700, G150, G200, G300, GV150, GV200, HR21, HRA21, HS35, WA20, WA30, WB20, WB30, WT20, and WT30. As a genuine Honda part, this cover is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring it seats and secures exactly as intended. Because Honda supersedes parts across serial production breaks, always verify your unit's serial number against the fitment table before ordering.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Protection — sourced directly from Honda, this cover matches the original housing geometry exactly, so the recoil mechanism stays properly enclosed and protected.
• Drop-In Replacement — engineered to the same dimensions as the original, this part installs without modification using the existing hardware and mounting points.
• Broad Honda Compatibility — fits an extensive range of Honda equipment, including generators, tillers, G- and GV-series engines, lawn mowers, the HS35 single-stage snow blower, and WA, WB, and WT water pumps.
• Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda updates part specifications at production milestones, so confirm your serial number against the fitment chart to ensure this is the correct cover for your unit.

The Starter Reel Cover encloses and shields the recoil starter assembly — the spring-loaded reel and rope mechanism used to hand-start the engine or equipment. It keeps the internal components protected from dust, debris, and physical damage that could interfere with smooth rope retraction and reliable starting. A cracked, broken, or missing cover exposes the reel mechanism to contamination and impact, leading to difficult starting or a seized recoil assembly that leaves the equipment unable to start.
