Multiquip 28461-001 Recoil Starter Knob

The Multiquip 28461-001 Recoil Starter Knob is a genuine OEM component designed for a wide range of Multiquip equipment, including rammers, plate compactors, walk-behind trowels, mixers, pumps, and generators. As a direct OEM replacement, it is manufactured to the same specifications as the original knob installed at the factory, ensuring consistent pull-start engagement every time. This single part number covers an extensive cross-section of Multiquip models — including the MTX70HD, MTX80HDR, MVC82VHW, CA4HC, WM70S/P, and QP3TH — making it a reliable go-to for fleet operators and service technicians. Order the Multiquip 28461-001 with confidence knowing it is sourced directly from the OEM parts catalog.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Construction — Molded to the original grip profile and pull-cord attachment spec, delivering the same ergonomic engagement as the factory-installed knob.
• Drop-In Cord Attachment — Designed to accept the standard recoil starter rope diameter used across Multiquip equipment, so installation requires no drilling, trimming, or hardware modification.
• Broad Cross-Model Coverage — A single OEM part number that services rammers (MTX and MTR series), plate compactors (MVC and MVH series), walk-behind trowels, mortar mixers, pumps, generators, and more.
• Consistent Start-Pull Force — A cracked, worn, or missing starter knob places strain directly on the rope and the operator's hand; replacing it promptly restores controlled, full-grip pull force and protects the recoil assembly from secondary wear.
• Operator Safety at Every Pull — A secure, intact knob prevents the starter rope from slipping through the operator's grip mid-pull, reducing the risk of hand injury during engine start.

The recoil starter knob is the grip point at the end of the pull-start rope that allows the operator to engage the engine's recoil starter mechanism. It transmits the pulling force from the operator's hand to the rope and internal recoil spring, initiating the engine crank cycle. When the knob cracks, breaks, or separates from the rope, the starter rope becomes difficult or unsafe to grip, making the engine impossible to start reliably and potentially causing the loose rope end to whip back and damage surrounding components or injure the operator.
