The Multiquip 28442ZM3003 Recoil Starter Spring is a genuine OEM component designed for DS-Series screed equipment. Sourced directly from Multiquip, this spring restores the tension and return action your recoil starter depends on for consistent, reliable pull-starts. It is an exact-match replacement for DS-Series screeds, ensuring proper fit without guesswork. If your screed is failing to reset the starter rope or the pull cord feels slack and unresponsive, replacing this spring is the correct first step.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Tension Spec: — Manufactured to the original coil tension rating, so the starter engages and returns with the same force as when the machine left the factory.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement: — Engineered to seat correctly within the recoil starter housing on DS-Series screeds, allowing straightforward installation without modification to the housing or rope assembly.
- DS-Series Screed Compatibility: — Confirmed fitment for Multiquip DS-Series gasoline-powered hand-held screeds, including DSG models.
- Restores Full Pull-Start Function: — A broken or fatigued recoil spring prevents the starter rope from rewinding, leaving the engine unable to start. This replacement returns the system to full working order.
- Fuel System Safety Consideration: — A non-functioning recoil starter can lead to repeated over-cranking attempts, increasing fuel flooding risk; restoring proper spring tension keeps starting procedure normal and controlled.
The recoil starter spring is the coiled steel component housed inside the recoil starter assembly that stores and releases tension each time the pull cord is engaged. When you pull the starter rope, the spring winds tighter; when you release it, the stored energy retracts the rope back into position for the next pull. Over time, repeated use causes the spring to fatigue, lose tension, or snap entirely — at which point the rope will not rewind and the engine cannot be started. Replacing a worn or broken spring with the correct OEM part, such as the Multiquip 28442ZM3003, is the most direct way to restore full pull-start capability to your DS-Series screed.
