The Multiquip 50496700 Electric Starter 9 Teeth 12V 1 8K 2G40 is a genuine OEM electric starter designed for the RW1404, RW1404MR, and RW1504HF walk-behind rollers. Sourced directly from Multiquip, this part meets the original equipment specifications for a drop-in fit on covered serial number ranges — including RW1404MR units from S/N 326075 and up and RW1504HF units up to S/N. As a genuine OEM component, it delivers the exact engagement geometry and electrical output your roller's starting system was engineered around. Order with confidence knowing this is the same starter that ships on new Multiquip RAMMAX roller builds.
Key Features
- Correct Tooth Count and Voltage: — 9-tooth pinion gear and 12V rating match the ring gear and electrical system specs of RW1404 and RW1504HF rollers exactly, ensuring clean engagement every start.
- Genuine OEM Quality: — Built to the same tolerances as the original starter, with windings and brush assemblies rated for the duty cycle demands of compaction equipment in the field.
- Serial-Number-Verified Fitment: — Confirmed for RW1404, RW1404MR (S/N 326075 and up), and RW1504HF (up to S/N 1534188) — cross-reference your serial number before ordering to ensure compatibility.
- Direct Mounting Replacement: — Mounts to the same bolt pattern as the original unit, with matching electrical connector configuration for a straightforward swap without fabrication or adaptation.
- Protects Engine Starting System Integrity: — A worn or failed starter motor can cause slow cranking, hard starts, or no-start conditions that leave your roller out of service on a paving job — replacing with the correct OEM unit restores full starting performance.
An electric starter is the component responsible for cranking the engine to initiate combustion. It does this by engaging a drive pinion gear into the engine's ring gear, spinning the crankshaft until the engine fires, then automatically disengaging. On walk-behind rollers like the RW1404 and RW1504HF, reliable starting is critical to keeping paving and compaction operations on schedule. When a starter begins to fail, symptoms include slow or labored cranking, grinding or whining noises on startup, and eventually a complete failure to turn the engine over — often caused by worn brushes, a faulty solenoid, or pinion gear damage from repeated engagement.
