The Multiquip 28400ZE2003ZA Recoil Starter GX240 is a genuine OEM recoil starter designed for GX240-powered equipment. Please note that this part has been superseded — the current replacement is 06280ZE2305, so we recommend verifying the updated part number before ordering. As a genuine OEM component, it is built to the exact specifications required for correct fitment and dependable pull-start operation on GX240-equipped machines. Sourced directly through authorized Multiquip supply channels, this starter is the correct OEM reference for GX240 applications.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to the exact tolerances required for the GX240 recoil starter position, ensuring the pawl engagement, rope length, and return spring tension match original equipment specifications.
- Supersession Notice — Part 28400ZE2003ZA has been officially superseded by 06280ZE2305; always confirm the current active part number with your supplier before placing an order.
- Direct-Fit for GX240 Applications — Engineered to mount directly onto GX240-powered Multiquip equipment without alteration, aligning correctly with the engine's starter cup and rewind housing.
- Consistent Pull-Start Performance — A properly functioning recoil starter delivers smooth, controlled rope retraction and positive pawl engagement, so the engine cranks reliably on every pull.
- OEM Parts Lineage — Backed by Multiquip's authorized OEM parts chain, this component meets the same design and material standards as the unit originally installed at the factory.
The recoil starter is the manual pull-start mechanism that transfers force from the operator's pull on the rope to the engine's crankshaft, spinning it fast enough to initiate combustion. Inside the housing, a coiled return spring retracts the rope after each pull, while spring-loaded pawls engage the engine flywheel during the pull stroke and disengage automatically once the engine fires. When the recoil starter wears out — through a broken rope, a fatigued return spring, or damaged pawls — the engine cannot be started manually, bringing the machine to a complete stop until the starter is replaced.
