The Multiquip 2695020130 Recoil Starter EH17 is a genuine OEM component designed for MVC70E and MVC70EW plate compactors. As a direct Multiquip OEM part, 2695020130 is built to the exact specification of the original unit, ensuring a correct, hassle-free installation on your compactor. Fitment is confirmed for the MVC70E and MVC70EW series, making this the right choice when your existing starter has worn, snapped, or failed to engage.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Starter Assembly — Manufactured to Multiquip's original specification for the EH17 engine, ensuring correct recoil tension, cord length, and engagement geometry right out of the box.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Mounts using the original bolt pattern and housing profile of the MVC70E and MVC70EW, so disassembly and reinstallation follow the standard service procedure with no improvised modifications.
- Confirmed Fitment for MVC70E and MVC70EW — Verified compatibility with both the standard and water-kit variants of the MVC70 plate compactor family.
- Consistent Cold and Hot Starts — A properly functioning recoil starter delivers smooth, repeatable pull resistance so the engine catches on the first or second pull, keeping your compaction work on schedule.
- Durable Cord and Pawl Mechanism — The OEM assembly uses matched cord and pawl components rated for repeated daily use, resisting premature fraying and ratchet slippage that lead to a no-start condition.
A recoil starter is the manual pull-start mechanism that cranks the engine when the operator pulls the starter cord. When engaged, the cord unwinds a coiled spring and drives a set of pawls outward to catch the engine flywheel, transferring rotational energy to turn the engine over and initiate combustion. Once the engine fires, the pawls retract and the spring rewinds the cord automatically. When the recoil spring breaks, the cord frays, or the pawls wear down, the engine will not crank — bringing plate compactor operations to a complete stop until the assembly is replaced.
