The Multiquip 28421Z1T702 is a genuine OEM Recoil Starter designed for MVC88VTH, MVC88VTHW, MVC82VH, MVC82VHW, MVH158GH, and MVH128GH plate compactors. As a factory-sourced component, it meets the original build specification for these machines, ensuring the starter engages the engine correctly every time. Sourced direct from Multiquip, this part carries the same quality standard as the unit installed at the factory, giving you a straightforward, like-for-like swap with no guesswork on compatibility.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Pull Mechanism — Manufactured to Multiquip's original recoil spring tension and cord-length specifications, so starter engagement force matches what the engine was designed to receive.
- Direct-Mount Replacement — Mounts to the same bolt pattern as the original unit on MVC and MVH series compactors, using existing hardware and fastener positions.
- Confirmed Fitment — Verified for MVC88VTH, MVC88VTHW, MVC82VH, MVC82VHW, MVH158GH, and MVH128GH plate compactors.
- Consistent Cold-Start Performance — A properly functioning recoil starter delivers a full, smooth pull stroke, allowing the engine to reach cranking speed reliably in all weather conditions.
- Durable Recoil Cord and Housing — OEM-grade cord material and housing construction resist the wear, heat, and UV exposure common in outdoor compaction work.
The recoil starter is the manual engine-starting mechanism on a plate compactor. When the operator pulls the starter grip, an internal recoil spring engages a pawl or ratchet that spins the engine crankshaft until the engine fires, then the cord retracts automatically. A worn or broken recoil starter — whether from a snapped cord, a failed recoil spring, or a cracked housing — makes it impossible to start the machine in the field. Replacing the 28421Z1T702 with a genuine Multiquip unit restores clean, consistent pull-start function and gets your compactor back to work.
