The Multiquip 28400Z5T305ZA is a genuine OEM Recoil Starter Assembly GX390 designed for GX-390-powered Multiquip equipment. Sourced directly from Multiquip, this starter assembly carries the same specifications as the original unit installed at the factory, ensuring a direct, hassle-free swap. It is the correct replacement for GX-390 engine applications across the Multiquip equipment lineup. When your current starter is worn, broken, or fails to engage, 28400Z5T305ZA gets your machine pulling over reliably again.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Recoil Mechanism — Manufactured to the same pull-force and rewind specifications as the original starter, ensuring consistent cranking engagement on the GX390 engine.
- Direct-Mount Fit — Mounts directly to the GX390 engine housing using the original bolt pattern, requiring no modification to the engine or shroud assembly.
- GX-390 Engine Compatibility — Confirmed fitment for GX-390-powered Multiquip equipment; verify your engine model before ordering to ensure an exact match.
- Full Assembly Included — Supplied as a complete starter assembly with recoil spring, rope, and housing, so no separate sourcing of individual components is needed.
- Sustained Starting Performance — A properly functioning recoil starter delivers a clean, repeatable pull stroke; a worn or broken unit can prevent engine start entirely, taking the machine out of service.
The recoil starter assembly is the manual starting mechanism that allows an operator to crank the engine by pulling a rope. When the rope is pulled, an internal recoil spring engages a set of pawls that temporarily lock onto the engine flywheel, transferring rotational energy to turn the engine over and initiate combustion. Once the engine fires, the pawls disengage automatically and the spring retracts the rope. Over time, the recoil spring can lose tension, the rope can fray or snap, and the pawl mechanism can wear to the point where the starter no longer engages the flywheel reliably — leaving the engine unable to start until the assembly is replaced.
