Multiquip 16534ZJ1840 Starter Spring

The Multiquip 16534ZJ1840 Starter Spring is a genuine OEM component designed for AR13HA/HAR, AR13H, AR13HC, and GA9.7HE series equipment. As a factory-original part, it is manufactured to the same specifications as the component it replaces, ensuring a direct, hassle-free installation. This spring is confirmed to fit the AR13H family of asphalt ride-on rollers and the GA9.7HE gasoline-powered generator, making it a reliable choice when servicing recoil starter assemblies across these platforms.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to exact original specifications, delivering the correct tension profile and coil geometry required for proper recoil starter function.
• Direct Drop-In Installation — Engineered to seat correctly within the recoil starter housing without modification, restoring the starter assembly to its original pull-and-return action.
• Broad Fitment Coverage — Compatible with AR13HA/HAR, AR13H, and AR13HC asphalt ride-on rollers and the GA9.7HE gasoline-powered generator.
• Restored Starting Performance — A worn or broken starter spring causes sluggish rope retraction or complete failure to return, leaving equipment unable to start. Replacing with 16534ZJ1840 restores crisp, consistent rope recoil every pull.
• Sourced from Multiquip — Supplied as a genuine Multiquip OEM part, giving you full confidence the component matches the original assembly design and material grade.

The starter spring is the torsional return element inside the recoil starter assembly. When the starter rope is pulled, the spring stores energy and releases it to retract the rope back into the housing after each start attempt. Over time, the spring can weaken, kink, or snap entirely due to repeated cycling and exposure to heat, causing the rope to hang loose or fail to retract. Replacing a failed starter spring with a properly rated component like the Multiquip 16534ZJ1840 is essential to restoring safe, repeatable hand-start operation on rollers and generator equipment.
